British Lemonade for Pimms
 

So I walked into a liquor store yesterday and they had one random bottle of Pimms (small town Kentucky we don’t have anything international here usually)

does anyone know where I can get British style lemonade from to have with it?

would sprite work or does the lime make it taste different?

Re: British Lemonade for Pimms
 

To the best of my knowledge, Sprite (or 7Up) is the best you're going to do. You may find an off-brand with a closer taste if they don't work, but I doubt it.

Try the Light or Diet varieties as sometimes they taste different to their sugary counterparts.

thank you that’s what I suspected there’s actually a random British owned ice cream store here and they sell pimms on tap and it just tastes different. I guess I’m going to have to learn to like it that way!

Trust me, use ginger ale.

I never would have thought to try that, will give it a go!

Re: British Lemonade for Pimms
 

Sprite and 7Up are definitely different to 'straight' lemonade but preferable to my taste when I have it with Scotch.

But which Brit Lemonade do you mean?

The clear one or the lemony looking one?

Up here we can get the lemony looking one so I would think you could too. It's fizzy and cloudy

Brit Lemonade would be R White's I suppose. But Scotch and lemonade? My dismay knew no depth when I read this. I immediately did a google for scotch and lemonade in the hope that scotch drinkers would be universally disgusted by this concept, only to read that is is a popular mix in the West of Scotland, of all places. What next, Scotch with Dandelion and Burdock? Everything I thought went unsaid is becoming unravelled.

Scotch and Irn Bru? :unsure:

Re: British Lemonade for Pimms
 

Scotch and Ginger Ale - also known as a Glasgow Mule!!! :eek:

(This is what my Dad actually drank).

Re: British Lemonade for Pimms
 

That's not bad, though I would suggest that ginger wine would be better - a "Whisky Mac" - IME most pubs have a bottle of Stone's Ginger Wine behind the bar.

:lol:
Ever watch M*A*S*H?
Col. Henry Blake regularly drank Whisky & 7Up.

Way back in 78 I was on a flight LA to Seattle, offered a drink and being inexperienced beyond pints or Southern Comfort I remembered Henry Blake. There was a free packet of dry roasted nuts and it was the perfect mix.

Every plane since has only ever had lemonade and never 7Up or Sprite. It's just not the same. :(
