Ultimate Pimm’s
This fruity, summery recipe makes the perfect drink for a day relaxing in the sunshine. Ahhh, summer.
Serves1 large jug
Hands-on5 min
DifficultyEasy
Method
To make a large jug, stone and slice the nectarines and cherries. Halve and slice the cucumber, then put all the fruit and cucumber in a jug with a large bunch of fresh mint and lots of ice so the jug is half full.
Pour in equal amounts of Pimm’s and gin until the jug is two thirds full, then top up with half ginger ale and half lemonade.
Garnish with borage flowers if you can find them (they’re available in large supermarkets and they grow well in gardens or pots).
Quick wins, tips & make ahead
Instead of gin, try Cointreau – it’s much stronger in flavour so be sure to add it bit by bit.
