Pimm's and Lemonade is supposed to be a great UK summertime drink!.

Lemonade in the UK is Sprite, 7 up - sort of vaguely lemon flavoured soda!.
For traditional Pimms and Lemonade - use one part Pimms to 4 parts Lemonade, add some chopped strawberries and cucumber, some chopped oranges (optional), a few sprigs of fresh mint and some ice!. It's a lovely drink and I overindulge in it every year at 2 rowing regattas!. At events such as these in the South East of England, there is always a Pimms tent!.
It should be mixed in a large glass jug/pitcher and then poured into large glasses (around half a pint)!. The alcoholic strength of a half pint of Pimms is comparable to a continental beer!.
The strawberries and fresh mint are very important and the fun bit is digging out the alcohol soaked strawberries at the bottom of the glass!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You're right in what you say!. Lemonade over here is carbonated!. It's just like 7up but with just the lemon flavouring!. Pimms is gorgeous on a hot summers day!.
Tall glass, shot of Pimms, 2 cherries, some chopped cucumber, some crushed ice, add lemonade and another shot of Pimms on top!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
