We discovered Pimmm's and Lemonade


We lunched at the Kings hotel, which I recommend, in Chipping Campden. We chatted up the bartender who introduced us to the classic, if not cliche, British spirit – Pimm's #1. He suggested we try it with Lemonade and of course, we deferred. He promptly began chopping up some strawberries, peaches, mint and CUCUMBERS which he added to our little cocktail. I am always thrilled to see drinks made with fresh ingredients. It was a sad day when they started using Rose's Lime Juice instead of fresh limes in Kamikazes.

The drink was fabulous and a great substitute for a margarita in the summer. We picked up a few bottles at Heathrow duty free.
