If you have ever drunk a well made
Pimm's cup, I’m sure you will agree that it tastes like a breath of fresh summer
air on a late afternoon! It is light, fruity and refreshing with just a hint of
spiciness. If you think I’m getting a bit carried away here, that can only be because you haven’t had a really good one yet.
Adam mixed us a punch bowl
full this weekend which was just perfect. So perfect, I had to make some more
yesterday afternoon. I sadly couldn’t find strawberries but I found plums which
were so ruby red and perfectly ripe, I thought they might just do the trick as well.
If you can possibly help it,
stick to the original recipe and you will have a cocktail to be reckoned with!
Original Pimm's no. 1 Cup
1 part Pimm's no. 1
3 parts chilled lemonade
Cucumber, thinly sliced or diced
Orange, segmented or sliced and halved
Strawberry, quartered or sliced
Mint leaves, slightly bruised
I use 50ml of Pimms to 150ml of lemonade
per person as a guide line. I like to add the fruit and
Pimm's together first and allow the flavours to combine for a little while, before
adding lots of ice and the chilled lemonade. This makes a great punch bowl too.
You can vary the fruit a little, but
I would not change the cucumber or the mint as they add the freshness which is
so appealing about the drink.
Aren't they the most gorgeous looking plums?! |
I will get some tomorrow right? Soo excited!!
