Does one drink Pimms?

[Ben69]

Hi,

 

Was wondering if I should start drinking Pimms now I moor by Henley-on-thames ? If so, how should I take it?

 

Please excuse my ignorance

Keep the cucumber - I find it doesn't agree terribly well.

1 litre pimms mixed with 2 litres lemonade, some chopped up fruit and loads of ice, then enjoy.

I like it with dry ginger rather than lemonade, borage flowers add to the pomposity should you wish.

It is also difficult to tell the Aldi version from the real thing

Scrap the cucumber & ice cubes (btw I love ice in my drinks), and use frozen berries instead, lovely treat at the end of glass

Pimms number 3 is my choice.

Served chilled by your butler.

I like the odd glass of it in the right setting during summer, plenty of fruit. Its also nice with tonic water rather than lemonade.

Yuk, it tastes of Christmas

[BilgePump]

Uurgh. No ta. Once had a jug at a BBQ, ex-gf drank it by the gallon. Not a fan of anything gin based.

I like the frozen berries idea Bettie! We keep wedges of lime in the freezer for similar alcohol-based reasons, but I'd not thought of that one.

 

 

Edited to add: yes, one does drink Pimms, although it's very definitely a sunny afternoon tipple, so how it reminds anyone of Christmas is beyond me!

Agree, tonic water with it is good, agree about the Aldi Version - any Pimms is improved with a nice measure of Gordon's added.... also chop the fruit into very small segments and wash the mint.......

 

Happy days.

Maybe they are Australian?

One is only required to drink Pimms during the Regatta week and then you must put the jug on a table with a white cloth.

Gentlemen should / must wear a boater and One's rowing club blazer and tie.

 

Any other behaviour is quite out of order....

Don't forget to put a plum in your mouth before and after sipping.

Nope... 1 bottle of pimms and 2 bottles of prosecco far better result

Last time I drank pimms was in Henley-on-Thames, straight out the bottle, on a little boat.

1 litre Pimms mixed with 2 litres lemonade, some chopped up fruit and loads of ice, then throw it away and enjoy a decent beer instead

 

You missed a few words out, Phil.

Better, but why waste decent Prosecco (or Cava)?

Either is perfectly good on its own!

As well as a bigger hangover I would imagine! ☺
