Any creative ideas about how to make a drink look like Pimms?!

[Orangenightie]

So I possibly could be pregnant but too early to know yet, and I have a prearranged event this weekend where I’ll be drinking Pimms. It’s only me and few others and we’ve arranged to buy the Pimms ingredients etc so I can’t just say I don’t fancy it, so ideally I’m looking for some solution like a drink I could use to pour in which looks very similar!!

I’ll be at home which is easier to manage but can’t think of non alcoholic alternatives the same colour as Pimms. Obviously I’ll fill up with lemonade and loads of fruit…

Thanks!

Coke + lemonade in whatever quantities makes it the right colour?

Some fruit cordials would fit the bill!

Personally I'd just have a few drinks! TTC can take years and if you don't even know if you're pregnant then you can't be putting life on hold for something that you don't know if it's happening!

Tonic water, lemonade and a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar.

Just drink the pimms!

Balsamic vinegar and lemonade. Slimming worlders use it!

if its too early to know, your not pregnant yet. However I am sure have seen a non alcoholic version of Pimm's

This all sounds very complicated. I'd just accept a glass of Pimms and then not drink it- no one really notices whether you actually drink your drink.

I'd just go with summer fruits squash with slices of fruit and mint, topped up with lemonade.

Schweppes Summer Punch (also called seasonal punch I think), looks and tastes exactly like Pimms but non-alchoholic

If you were in Ireland you could use our famed TK red lemonade- a staple of everyone’s childhood

Just pour yourself a glass and drink it slowly throughout the evening, or don't drink it at all.

Oh apparently it's discontinued

Just pour a small glass and top it up with lots of extra lemonade as you're 'pacing yourself' and sip that. Nobody will notice.

Ginger ale is a similar colour to weak pimms; chuck in loads of ice and fruit etc and that could work.

Oooo I did this - vimto and lemonade with all the fruit etc added. No one sussed

Schloer rose with a bit of coke in would be the right colour, Chuck some cucumber in and you’ll be fine

This!

Or maybe Vimto watered down with lemonade?

Irn Bru?

When i was at that stage I used to just keep a glass in my hand and pour a bit away when i could.Although it was easier then because it was considered ok to have the occasional drink so i could sip it too

An Aussie soft drink which looks like pimms is lemonade, a dash of
Lime cordial and a dash angostura bitters. Yes the bitters has a tiny bit of alcohol in. It's very refreshing and delicious.

Chop your fruit, mint etc into a jug. Add apple juice and lemonade. I like ginger ale in mine too. Non alcoholic Pimm's.

Thank you everyone, knew there would be some great suggestions! I’ll go to the shops and look for some kind of squash or cordial later. Next problem will be trying to subtly make it up without others noticing!!

They do notice, I tried this last summer when I was about 6w pregnant and got called out on it. I changed tack to accept a drink then made it slowly disappear by pouring it bit by bit down the sink/loo/drain/flowerbed when noone was looking 😆

If your pimms looks like irn bru you’re definitely making it wrong

Lipton cold tea drink is pimms coloured. But as per PP, accept a drink and then put it down or tip a bit away etc. Nobody notices if you’re drinking but they’ll notice if you have some elaborate refusal
