proof pimm's pitcher
4 oz proof whisky, 4 oz Pimm's No.1, Top with 16-24 oz Sprite or 7-up
Add proof whisky & Pimms No.1 to a pitcher filled with ice. Top with 7-UP & stir. Garnish with cucumber, orange, lemon or lime slices and mint
Pimm's No. 1 is gin-based and can be served both on ice or in cocktails. It has a dark tea colour with a reddish tint, and tastes subtly of spice and citrus fruit. It is often taken with "English-style" (clear and carbonated) lemonade, as well as various chopped fresh ingredients, particularly apples, cucumber, oranges, lemons, strawberry, and mint. Pimm's is also mixed with champagne (or a sparkling white wine), called a "Pimm's Royal Cup". It is 25% alcohol by volume.
If you would like to go all out for the wedding, here are a few spots that sell great British gear.
Your friends will feel like they have stepped into Buckingham Palace.
They sell everything from British canapé flags, British Cake stands, Veuve Clicquot Yellow Ribbon punch cups, British Paper Cups, British Party Bunting, British Teapot Vase, to Solar Powered Queens
Empire was established in 1996 and carries a great selection of foods and gifts from the UK.
They carry a good variety of cool union jack ipad & laptop cases, teapots and mugs, trays, imported candy, Walkers crisps and if your drink is G&T, Lemon bitters. (better than any NA tonic)
As of end of June, Empire will be enjoying its new digs and new name, South Coast, at 724 1/4 Queens Street East (just east of Broadview) The store will carry a different stock of more linens and whites.
