ATTN ALL BRITS

Post by stephswill »

PIMMS-What the hell is it? Am I missing out being a cheapskate at the pub and not giving it a try? Been curious for awhile.

Its a gin based, fruit tasting sort of liquor. Makes a good drink with lemonade, but not exactly drunkard juice.

It's not great. A quite nice tipple on a sunday afternoon, watching local cricket or something like that, but it can get pretty sickly pretty quick.

It's the drink of the posh folk at garden parties, Harris tweed jackets, summer dresses, picnics, croquet, etc

Pass it over unless you are hosting a light family Barbeque when I recommend it as a punch for the older/more undrunk folk.

As a drunkard it should fall on your list between Archers and lemonade and low alcohol lager as a drink you can be respected for choosing.
"That's only a problem if you stop drinking"

"Nationality? I'm a drunkard, and that makes me a man of the world"

"The word "pub" should never need to be followed by the word "why""

I think it's carrot flavored but I'm not sure. I remember liking it when we ended up with a bottle at the house. It was a fairly refreshing summer drink.

And Ms Swill it is good to see youvafter oh so many years.

Pimms is something pretending to be a drink.....ignore its there to temp you into thinking "well i may as well just have fruit juice, it tastes as nice"

Stick to gin and tonic, or lemonade for gin based drinks.
Drunk? I'm not drunk! You wouldn't dare accuse me of that if I was s0ber!

The only worthwhile thing even remotely connected to Pimms is "It's pimms o'clock!"
For posh folk who can't handle brandy only.
