Chef’s Tips

• Top up with lemonade only when serving, or it goes flat.
• Use plenty of ice. A warm Pimm's is dreadful.
• Keep the proportions at one part Pimm's to three parts lemonade.

Pairing Suggestions

• Cucumber sandwiches
• Strawberries and cream
• A garden party

Storage & Reheating

Best made just before serving. The lemonade goes flat if it stands.
