Classic Pimm's and Lemonade

While visiting friends in London, they threw a lovely Pride brunch and introduced Tim and I to a traditional British summer cocktail, Classic Pimm's and Lemonade.

In the 1840's, James Pimm created his unique drink, Pimm's No. 1, for customers of his Oyster Bar in London. The recipe, a closely guarded secret, remains popular, even today.

Classic Pimm's and Lemonade

1 part Pimm's No. 1
3 parts chilled lemonade
chopped mint
chunks of orange, cucumber, strawberries, apples and lemon

Mix all the ingredients in a large pitcher and stir. Serve in a tall glass filled with ice.

If you didn't have the chance to run to the market, just serve up Simple Pimm's and Lemonade.
