There’s nothing like a glass of cold Pimm’s on a sunny day—refreshing, fruity, and unmistakably British. But why settle for ordinary when you can make it extraordinary? At The Garnish Club, we’re all about turning classics into centrepieces, and this one’s no exception.

Here’s how to take your Pimm’s from picnic to posh.

🍹 The Garnish Club Pimm’s Recipe

Ingredients (for a jug):

200ml Pimm’s No.1
600ml chilled lemonade
Ice
Fresh fruit: strawberries, orange slices, cucumber ribbons, lemon wheels
Fresh mint sprigs

✨ Now, Elevate It – Garnish Club Style

🌺 1. Salt the Rim – Yes, Even for Pimm’s

Before pouring, run a citrus wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it into our Summer Berry Salt or Citrus Hibiscus Salt. It adds a tangy floral twist that amplifies the fruitiness of Pimm’s beautifully.

Try our Elderflower Citrus Salt for a delicate aromatic finish.

🍓 2. Garnish Like a Garden Party

Forget just tossing in fruit. With The Garnish Club, your glass becomes the main event.

Dehydrated Strawberry Slices – float on top or pin to the side for a luxe look
Pressed Cucumber Ribbons – curled inside the glass for crisp elegance
Crystallised Edible Flowers – a magical, Insta-worthy finish
Dehydrated Orange or Lemon Wheels – for layered citrus aroma

Add a mint crown on top with a touch of crushed ice and a floral stirrer.

🌼 3. Infuse Your Pimm’s Base

Want to wow your guests? Infuse your Pimm’s No.1 ahead of time:

Cucumber & Mint Infusion – a cooling classic, intensified
Berry Basil Infusion – adds a subtle, gourmet twist
Lemon Verbena & Rose Petal – soft, fragrant, and perfect for garden parties

Let the infusion steep for 12–24 hours, then strain before mixing your jug.

🫖 Serving Tip: Use a Vintage Teapot or Mason Jars

Serve your Garnish Club Pimm’s in a quirky teapot or glass jars with edible flower ice cubes for a whimsical, Instagrammable vibe.
