Quintessentially English, the Pimms and Lemonade is the perfect summer drink for those lazy afternoons with a picnic in the park or in the countryside. It is a long, cooling beverage with refreshing fruits, cucumber and mint. The lower alcohol content means you can sit back and sup this thirst-quencher all afternoon without getting into too much trouble, although there are variations of the recipe that add gin, vodka or Cointreau for that extra kick.
