Instructions
  1. 1

    Shake it cold

    Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice, then pour in the Pimm's and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Cover and shake hard for 10 to 15 seconds — you want it ice-cold, right up until the outside of the shaker frosts over.

  1. 2

    Build the glass

    Fill a rocks glass with fresh ice (or go tall with a Collins glass if you want it to look extra pretty) and strain the chilled Pimm's mixture over the top. Top it off with the ginger ale for that easy fizz.

  2. 3

    Garnish and sip

    Slide in a few cucumber slices, a sliced strawberry, and a couple of mint leaves. Serve immediately while it's cold and bubbly.

Notes & Tips

The official drink of Wimbledon and honestly the easiest way to feel fancy on a hot Friday. Pimm's No. 1 is a low-proof (25% ABV) gin-based liqueur, so this stays light and refreshing — it's a sipper, not a knockout. Ratio to remember: 1 part Pimm's to 3 parts ginger ale, plus a squeeze of lemon to keep it bright. Feeding a crowd? Stir the Pimm's and lemon together in a pitcher ahead of time, then add ice, soda, and all the fruit right before serving. Mocktail swap: skip the Pimm's, pour in a splash of pomegranate or cranberry juice with a little extra ginger ale, and keep the cucumber, strawberry, and mint — garden-party vibe, zero proof.
