Sweet and fruity Pimm's tastes like summer. It's alcoholic but just barely so. Its signature ingredient, Pimm's No. 1, is a sweet, dark liquor that originated and is popular in England, and the Brits like to mix it with lemonade (what they call Sprite), fruit, mint, and cucumber.
After sipping on Pimm's for the first time in several years, I am not sure the drink is worth buying a whole bottle for. But on occasion I having it to reminisce cool summer nights in English pubs, where I first had the drink. This is all in keeping with the Pimm's parties my friends from my summer study program in England and I had upon returning to the States and discovering the liquor store carried Pimm's. Of course, chatting about Pride and Prejudice country and the quaintness of Oxford would make it all the better.

Mix one part Pimm's to 3 parts Sprite. Add ice, mint, and fruit. Prepare in a pitcher or individual glasses. Serve chilled. Enjoy.
Don't you think it tastes better with British Lemonade though? You can also use gingerale. I'm not sure if it can ever a mixer in the US can measure up to what they use in Britain.
