The Ingredients — and where to get them
Cook for 1 servings
Our ratio, your call. The amounts below are a tested starting point — a version, not the one and only. Anything tagged to taste is the knob you turn: start there, then make it yours.
Non-alcoholic fruit cup aperitif
A zero-proof spiced fruit-cup style aperitif carries the herbs and dark fruit the classic base needs. It's what makes it a Pimm's and not fruit punch.

Lemonade

Cucumber
Ribbon a fresh cucumber lengthwise. It's the defining aroma of the drink, so it needs to be crisp.
