No orange, no strawberries and god forbid you put apple slices in. (Also worth noting is that, should you really want to make it rocket-fuelled, you can pep a pitcher up with a good slug of gin.)

But I do think Pimms absolutely has to have cucumbers, it's just not the same without it. And borage flowers add a certain blue beauty as well.

With cucumber. It was delicious. You can still find it at BevMo here in the LA area. Don't see it many other places. Pimm’s #1 was the first drink my father made me on my auspicious 21st birthday.

I've enjoyed some Pimm's tonight because of it! :) Kate: I found Pimm's #1 at the liquor store in Snohomish, so my guess is you can find it at many of them. It was in the liqueur section, not the gin section. That said, back in VA, I couldn't find Pimm's anywhere! Thanks for this post! I’ve enjoyed some Pimm’s tonight because of it! :)

My partner and I drink Pimm's year round, it is our favorite afternoon "is it too early to drink well this is classy and British and therefore acceptable" drink-- think 4 PM on lazy Saturdays. There are as many variations of Pimm's pitchers as there are... well... things there are a lot of. I'm a fan of Pimm's, Lemonade, and a few cucumber wedges. Best sipped with someone you love, feet up, and chores ignored. Pimm’s isn’t just a summer drink!
