Pimm’s Cup for Wimbledon

The Pimm's cup for Wimbledon is a riff on a classic summer sipper made with Pimm's, fresh fruit, and lemon-lime soda. It was made popular at tennis and polo matches although it's perfectly suited to any cocktail hour. This version adds fresh strawberries in honor of Wimbledon.

Multiple Servings
Never has there been a more worthy use for all that arithmetic you learned in gradeschool as crunching the numbers in the ingredient list below to make more than a single serving of this lovely summer sipper. Because trust us, you’ll want to make a sufficient amount to fill a pitcher, not just a measly glass. Figure 1/4 cup Pimm’s per person—actually, we should say, per serving. Because if you’ve yet to experience Pimm’s, it’s going to be hard to stop at just one glass.
