Pimm's Cup and Wimbledon

Watching the Wimbledon finals?

I hope you have your Pimms Cup, it is Wimbledon's signature drink. Over 15,000 Pimm's Cups are served each day during Wimbledon.

"Pimm's is most common in Britain, particularly Southern England. It is one of the two staple drinks at Wimbledon...the other being Champagne. As a result Pimm's has the reputation of being a drink for the upper class.
Pimm's No. 1 Cup is the essential ingredient in the Pimm's Cup, which mixes one part Pimm's No.1 with three parts lemonade or lemon soda, ice cubes, borage leaves (nowadays a wedge of cucumber is usually substituted for this ingredient), mint leaves and slices of lemon, orange and strawberry." -- wikipedia.com
