Pimm’s is a staple drink of British summertime. The moment the sun come out, excited Brits flock to the nearest beach or call up their friends for a BBQ. The one drink that you can guarantee the party won’t be without is a jug of Pimm’s. Here’s the fool-proof guide to making the perfect mix.
Choose the Right Glass
Opt for a highball glass if you are serving Pimm’s at your party. They have a higher capacity, which means that once you have served the ice and fruit, there is still plenty of room the drink itself.
Choose Your Herbs
Fresh mint is the ideal herb for a Pimm’s cocktail. If you want to mix things up, you can try adding a sprig of rosemary or basil. Generally speaking though, mint is the go-to.
Use the Classic Fruits
The essential fruits for a Pimm’s are: chopped strawberries, orange and sliced cucumber. You are welcome to add tropical fruits to the mix but these are the classics.
Add an Alcoholic Twist
Pimm’s is traditionally served with lemonade and ice. If you want to add a classy twist, try adding a little champagne or a couple of shots of gin to the mix. Just be wary of your guests’ limits!
