The anglophile in me would naturally glom onto this summer staple of the highbrow set. Wimbledon proudly sells 80,000 half-pints each year. What is it you ask? Well really only three, yes three, people truly know. A well-kept secret since 1859. What we do know is that it is gin based, the Pimms No. 1, that is. Do not bother with #2, #3.................THIS IS THE FAVORED.

So, back to Eddie Ross ( notice how i keep bringing that up :-)
When we found out Eddie and Jaithan were coming to the shop I read that Eddie liked Pimms, in luck, my speciality! And many calls later asking for the recipe, here it is;

Per glass;
1 jigger Pimms No. 1
1 jigger white rum
ice
lemon soda, typically not found in the US, do not substitute ginger ale. Target sells lemon soda
and fruit, lots of fruit; cucumber spear (a must)
strawberries
orange
lemon
garnish with mint.
But..................
I prefer to make it in giant pitchers. Add to taste the ingredients, let the fruit sit for an hour or two and pour.
have a summer cocktail party, invite and make new friends, cheers!
