I want to serve Pimm’s Cups at my party … but what type of food do you think goes well with it. I need to have a lot of hors-d’oeuvres…

Maureen: We've also tried the bitter lemon idea but it just wasn't the flavor we wanted with it. I don't hear much about the other Pimm's flavors. I thought they failed miserably on the market -- being based on vodka, bourbon, and whisky (?), rather than gin as Pimm's No. 1 is -- and weren't available. I'd guess the best mixes are those that do well with the based alcohol.

Sam: Aw, thanks! I will happily perform the task whenever you like.

Cat: Thank you! Although, I do agree with you about drinking a tall glass of ginger beer. I does become a bit much after awhile. Shorter glasses for that or less ginger beer might be the ticket.

Mmm, I adore Pimm’s cups, especially the version you made me last night with ginger beer. That stuff is seriously addictive!

I do believe that we nailed the source of that elusive Pimm's flavor tonight: Fenugreek.

It's the stuff that brings garam masala up a notch, and gives ghormeh sabzi it's distinct bite.

I love Pimm’s cup (#1)…but mix mine with Schweppe’s bitter lemon and lots of ice. Best summer drink!

Has anyone ever tried the other Pimm’s flavors #2-5? What are the best mixes for those?
