Pimms

This easy Pimms spritz wouldn’t be the same without the summertime classic flavours and toppings of Pimms. It’s fruity and refreshing and works perfectly with sliced fruit in an easy Pimms co*cktail. You can also swap out the Pimms for another brand ( for example, Sainsbury’s Pitcher or Asda’s Summer Cup for a couple of lower-budget alternatives).

Prosecco

The perfect Pimms paring, prosecco is light and bubbly! You can even make this into a luxury Pimms spritz by adding champagne instead of prosecco to your Pimms. This drink would be perfect for the co*cktail or a summer wedding or to pair with tiny sandwiches at an afternoon tea.

Top Tips

  • Swap out your prosecco with Champagne for an elegant and pimped-up Pimm’s co*cktail.
  • Use frozen strawberries instead of ice for your easy Pimms co*cktail. They defrost nice and quickly so you can still enjoy a Pimms-soaked strawberry!

Substitutions and variations

Other brands of Pimms drink could be used instead of Pimms.

Asda has its own brand called Summer Cup, and Sainsbury’s offers Pitchers. These are both great, own-brand gin liqueurs that go perfectly in this easy Pimms co*cktail.

You can also swap out the Prosecco for all lemonade if you would prefer a lower alcohol Pimms co*cktail. Just remember that Pimms contains alcohol whether or not you top it with Prosecco or lemonade.

Please drink aware.

Making ahead-of-time options

Pimm’s is best enjoyed when served and made fresh. This co*cktail only takes a couple of minutes to whip up so I would suggest making this just before you plan to serve.

The good part about pimm’s is you can prepare the fruit and topping in advance and keep in the fridge until ready.

You can also make this easy Pimms spritz into a large pourable drink by scaling up the Pimms, prosecco and lemonade.

If you want to help keep the drink cold you can freeze the strawberries in advance and use them instead of ice cubes. They don’t take long to defrost so you will still be able to eat them once you’ve enjoyed your Pimm’s Spritz.

What is the flavor of Pimms?

Pimm’s is made with gin and has a fruity, slightly spiced flavour. There are tastes of juicy fruit like apple but also a hint of tea. Without being diluted, Pimm’s is not sweet which is why you need the lemonade to add that sweetness to the finished co*cktail. It has been created to balance with the lemonade and the genius’s at Pimm’s have managed to do that incredibly well.
