The Perfect Pimm’s recipe

The hot weather has arrived and we Brits like our Pimm’s.  Whether you are lounging around at Wimbleon; you’re enjoying a day’s racing at Ascot or BBQ’ing with your friends, Pimm’s really is the refreshing summer’s day drink that is enjoyed year after year.

However, I know a few friends and barman for that matter, who shall remain nameless, that have made several Faux pas’s when it comes to creating the perfect recipe for a great Pimm’s.

So for all of you summer folk who enjoy outdoor living here is my Perfect Pimm’s recipe.

Hairy Bikers Large Jug

The Perfect Pimm’s Recipe

How to make the perfect Pimm’s

Start with a good Jug.   I like the Hairy’s Bikers Large Jug.    It comes in Blue or Cream and hold 2 Litres.  We are selling the Hairy Bikers Large Jug for £20.20 with no shipping charges.  That is cheaper than John Lewis or Amazon.

Now add;

1 part Pimm’s No1
3 parts chilled Lemonade
Add some Mint,
half a chopped cucumber,
1 chopped apple
1 sliced Orange and 3 Strawberry’s

Optional ingredients:

Half of one lemon and lime

It’s all in the delivery

LSA Coro Leaf

For the perfect Pimm’s you need the perfect glass.   One of my favourites is the Coro Leaf Highballs by LSA.  At £15 for a set of 4, these long drinking glasses hold 425ml and stand 14.5cm’s high.  They have  hand painted bases in four different shades of green from lime through to emerald are designed to add a touch of playful cheer to any drinks occasion.
