Cocktail Colin says:
Pimm's and Lemonade is a quintessentially British summertime tipple that perfectly balances herbaceous and fruity flavors, creating a refreshingly light cocktail ideal for sipping in the sun. The combination of Pimm's No. 1 with its subtly spicy and citrusy notes, effervescent lemonade, and the fresh garnishes of cucumber, strawberry, and mint, contributes to a harmonious blend that's both invigorating and soothing.
