Pimms Recipe - Help needed!

By *lipperyWhenWet! OP Couple over a year ago

Rochester

We are off to Eurekas for the day tomorrow, planning to setup with a chest of ice, Pimms, and food.

I've just got everything together and went to look up a mix I had noted down previously for Pimms that was very good, and I cant find it!

So help!

Does anyone have a good mix recipe for Pimms?

I have loads of mint, apples, oranges, cucumber, lemons and limes, Lemonade, and of course Pimms No1.

What else do I need if anything, any suggestions?

And what mix ratios?

Thanks Al.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

That's it and just mix as weak or as strong as you like.

I like mine quite strong with lemonade and mint and cucumber but it doesn't really matter - take it all and experiment. Have a lovely day, the weather is gonna be hot!

Just remember not to tastes as you're making it, quickest way to get pissed as I found out when I worked in mess and made it up for summer ball

Thanks for the replies.

I had a memory of the mix I had being a bit more involved that that, with the Pimms and Lemonade and a crushed lime and splash of something? (god knows what now).

But I suppose I can just keep mixing and drinking

With as much Sun as forecast I will need plenty of fluids! LOL

(and Sun tan oil as I don't want burnt bits!)

Just google it and the mix is on there along with some cocktails which may be what you thinking of.

Apparently Aldi's Austin's is just as good as Pimm's and cheaper.

I have not tried it myself, however, I have planned to, after I have finished my current bottle of Pimm's.

I like it quite strong, so it is normally 1 part Pimm's to 3 parts lemonade or less.

Have fun at Eureka's!

Thanks for that, I think you have a point with cocktails, I think now that may have been it.

Loads of stuff on the internet but with so much its difficult to gauge what is any good.

So far:

The ratio seems ok, and the cucumber and mint has a consensus I think, but the jury is out on fruit and what type.

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks for all the help.

"My mum and dad got the one from aldi and it tastes just like Pimms "

You mean Austins..?? Looked at it plenty of times, but stayed away as, usually, ALDI and Lidl's 'lookie-likey' stuff is so sugary it darned near makes me throw up.

Mind you, could explain why it was almost walking off the shelf when I was in there this afternoon...

Try using ginger beer instead of lemonade - divine!

I put mint, cucumber and orange and lemon slices in mine.

If I'm making a huge jug then a sliced apple or strawbs too.

The Fireworks night 18 months ago, Ruby and I took her kids to the display at Leeds Castle and Pimms had a stand there selling 'Pimms Winter' with warm apple juice. Hit the spot on a cold November evening or what.???????? Never found it in the shops though....

Delish if you use ginger beer instead of lemonade.
