Re: A really refreshing drink
I enjoy a very large Pimms with sugarfree seven-up and to make it really special add some bubbley. Oh don't forget the mint, slice of orange and cucumber then you don't have to worry about having dinner.

Re: A really refreshing drink
OK I have looked it up for you
Pimms
There are a number of pimms the most popular being No 1 cup. It has a gin base and contains a blend of liqueurs and fruit extracts, giving a bitter-sweet fruity taste. Very nice..........

Re: A really refreshing drink
it's basically red wine & gaseosa/sprite, but you can buy it ready mixed in mercadona - very refreshing
