Key equipment

  • measuring jug
  • lolly moulds and sticks
  • freezer

Ingredients 

  • 120 ml/g Pimm's gin liqueur any variety
  • 300 ml/g lemonade must be flat
  • 150 to 200 g fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cucumber, orange, etc) de-stalked/peeled and cut small if required

Instructions

  • Make sure the lemonade is flat (no fizz) before starting and prepare the lolly moulds ready for the freezer (the recipe makes about 6 standard lollies)
  • Mix the Pimm's with the lemonade in a measuring jug and stir well.
  • Drop or poke the fruit into the lolly moulds in whatever order you want it to go.
  • Pour the Pimm's-lemonade into the lolly moulds on top of the fruit, making sure that the moulds are not completely full to the top (as the liquid will expand when it freezes).
  • Freeze (if possible on the 'fast freeze' setting) for at least 4 hours (and preferably overnight).
  • When ready to eat, quickly dip the lolly moulds into a cup of hot water, so that the Pimmsicles are easy to remove.

Notes

This recipe contains alcohol and is only suitable for adults. 
* Note: nutritional information is an estimate & may vary according to portion size/ingredient variants.
Note on strength of alcohol ratio - The ‘traditional’ ratio for a Summer Pimm's and lemonade punch is 1 Pimm's to 3 lemonade (25% Pimm's). But there is (almost) complete freedom to vary the strength. The recipe shared is at between 28 to 29% Pimm's. The strength can be increased to a maximum of about 33% (1 Pimm's to 2 lemonade). Beyond that, the freezability becomes less stable.
