The classic Pimm's cup cocktail, also known as Pimm's and lemonade, is a quintessentially British summer drink. On our honeymoon we stayed with some friends in London and they made us this drink - now we can't stop making it! It's especially delicious on a hot summer afternoon. Don't leave the cucumber and mint out - the garnishes make this drink!
