And most of all, is the Pimm's to mixer ratio 3 to 1, or 4 to 1? any or all of the above. they call it "Summer in a glass." I like 4 oz Pimm's, 1 oz lemon juice, 1 oz simple syrup, shaken over ice and strained into a tall glass, garnished with a spear of cucumber, a lemon slice, half a strawrberry (you cheeky monkey), topped off w/about 2 oz seltzer water and a mint sprig.
