F&W uses 2 1/2 oz lemon juice w/ 1oz simple syrup=lemonade. Essentially the same. Tried one at NH (I'm a NOLA local)and prefer mine: 2 oz Pimms 1 oz homemade sour mix (fresh lemon, lime, simple syrup) 4 oz gingerale cucumber slice For a light version with no discernable loss of flavor, sweeten sour mix w/ splenda or sweet/low, use sugar free gingerbeer or gingerale.

One of the simplest ways to enjoy it is to simply mix with ginger ale over ice. Cucumbers or not, Pimm's is one of my favorite quaffs!

It's not the same thing without all of them. Pimms cup does need to have strawberries, lemon, some mint as well as cucumber. It’s not the same thing without all of them.

I learned that used to be part of the recipe when I was looking up things to do with borage. We are going to be receiving some borage in our CSA share this week and I'm not familiar with it.

I wonder if he makes a good Pimm's Cup, though? Nelson’s muffaletta is even better than Central Grocery’s or Napoleon House’s.
