MissAdventure I bought my fake Pimms in Aldi as recommended by a Which magazine blind taste test. Half the price of the real thing at Tesco. One part Austins(fake Pimms), three parts ginger ale pour over ice, chopped up cucumber, lemon, lime, orange, strawberries and a sprig of mint. In a nice tall class with a bowl of strawberries and cream while you watch the tennis finals at the weekend.
