From the horse country of Virginia I would like to add that Pimms makes the scene at many a race and polo match, as it should, of course. I love to take a couple of bottles along for a full afternoon of races, and believe me everyone who stops by leaves smiling. My recipe involves making my own sour mix of simple syrup, lemon AND lime juices, then pouring in a bit of that for each drink, add the Pimms, top with soda water, stir with the cuke. YUM.
Will be trying out adding mint and strawberries soon, sounds wonderful.

I am a true Pimm's Cup devotee. I've only seen it on offer in one Indian restaurant I frequented on a business trip in downtown San Francisco. That was thirty years ago and I have long ago forgotten the name of the restaurant but not their food or drink. I wonder if anyone knows which establishment I am talking about. Seems in was down in a basement setting...
I ramble, over the years I have maintained my love affair whenever I would find Pimm's in our local state liquor store; a rare occasion (Seattle). From my perspective, it is more refreshing and appropriate for hot summer days than a Mint Julip. Now my southern ancestors are spinning in their graves.

The thought of Pimms and Creole Shrubb is quite intriguing. That could almost be a Serious Cocktails post in itself.

When I studied abroad in England, I used to drink this all the time! Anytime I see it in a liquor store in the US, I buy it! It taskes great with ginger ale and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Here in the UK we now get Winter Pimms which is slightly spicy and you drink it with warm apple juice - all year round Pimms fun for all!

I don't care for the stuff myself, but the wife likes it.

A good dash of Pimm's, fizzy lemonade, chopped cucumber, lemon wedge, strawberries and mint leaves.

I tried introducing some Alaskans to Pimm's here two weeks ago - no dice. But it's amazing.

I also happen to love the Pimm's Royale - swap champagne in for the lemonade.

My mom loves a good classic Pimm's Cup, but I am more partial to a Porch Swing, a drink invented at Blue Smoke that I read about the recipe online.

The Porch Swing:
1/2 oz. Hendrick's gin
1/2 oz. Pimm's No. 1
4 oz. homemade lemonade
Add a splash of 7-Up
Finish with finely sliced half-moon cucumbers

We encountered a very veggie-centric Pimm's Cup while on vacation in Maine. We spent a few nights in Damariscotta, and ended up at King Eider's Pub. Not only was the food there quite surprising, but the bar was very well equipped. After hearing the bartender gripe about how complicated their Pimm's Cup was to make we couldn't help but order one... :)

PIMMS...in our liquor control state its unavailiable, so at my bar we make our own, affectionately called PIMMSIES...try 2 parts gin, 2 parts sweet vermouth, and 1 part orange curacao...mmmm...fools the most die hard fans.

Oooh Pimm's Cup at Napoleon House, you helped me survive many a hangover in the crushing New Orleans heat.

The saying here in jolly ol' is "(crikey) it's Pimm's o'clock!" Very popular here, you can even get a tshirt that says that.

If you want to be authentically English, you say Pimm's and lemonade (which is more like 7up and Sprite), or simply Pimm's, not Pimm's cup.

Café des Artistes has a great Pimm's drink too. I think it's called the Tarzen or something. Made with fresh, mixed berries. Yum!

This takes me back to the 60's, when I first tasted Pimm's Cup as a young kid. Not kidding! It was just a sip though, and it tasted awful to me, of course.

For some reason my dad got a taste for the stuff--how I don't know, he was just a working-class guy and so were all his friends--and he would mix it with 7-up or some other "white" soda.

Just the thought of it brings back memories of childhood summers. I think I tried it as an adult, and still didn't like it....but maybe I should give it one more chance.

Thanks for the memories!

Rouge Tomate in NYC makes a really delicious cucumber drink with Pimms.
