Anyone for Pimms?

[CandidFruit]

Now that the sun's out, my friends are all declaring it's Pimms o'clock 😑

Does anyone actually like Pimms?
I'm fancying a pitcher of sangria (to myself!) to be honest! 😂

What's your summer drink?

I love Pimms. A Spanish friend introduced me to red wine and coke, very cold. Sounds repulsive, actually a great way to use not great wine.

I love Pimm's! It is a very nostalgic drink for me, and is the taste of summer. I used to quite like Sangria but I can't drink red wine any more. I had a white sangria in a tapas bar a while ago which was very nice though.

I love Pimms! I only drink it when it’s sunny though so it’s a rare treat, and one I am looking forward to think weekend!

I love pimms on a sunny evening. I also like white sangria over traditional x

I don’t understand what people love so much about Pimms. It just tastes like mild fruit juice to me

I don’t like pimms at all!
I love a margarita - lime, tequila and Cointreau shaken up with a salt and chilli rim. Refreshing and quite punchy but i make them with double the amount of lime to tequila so they’re just the right amount of boozy so I can have a few and enjoy them without being on the floor 😂

I don't think it tastes like fruit juice at all! It doesn't have any fruit juice in it. It's made of gin, spices and caramelised orange flavouring. Add lemonade. Fruit is just the garnish.

It's even better mixed with champagne instead of lemonade - a Pimm's Royale.

Currently, Tanqueray Seville Orange gin with London Essence Blood Orange and Elderflower tonic.

It's fab, my favourite summer drink. I'm nearly out of the gin so I will have to force myself to buy another one this weekend.😆

I will drink a pimms but only if it's all there is. And it has to be strong and cold. None of those weak just tastes like alcoholic lemonade disappointments.

I agree with pp though can't beat a spicy margarita

I'd love an Aperol Spritz please if anyone else fancies joining?
Perfect sunshine weather

Oooh yes, love a kalimotxo

I don't like Pimms either. Probably because I don't like any gin based drinks. I do like sangria, I like the ones the supermarkets sell in cartons for about £3.50.

I really like that Lipton Iced Tea , that's my summer drink, but it's non alcoholic, so that's probably not what you were after.

Ooooooo @VillageLifeIsTricky I didn't know it had a fancy name. Thanks!

@VillageLifeIsTricky thanks for that, like @MrsTerryPratchett i didn’t know it even had a name, but I am planning on having one very soon (when I get some coke in) 😊

Ooh, I love Pimms. I like Sangria, too.
