    You could make a drink from pink lemonade, ice and chopped cucumber, apple, mint, lemon.

    Is she not having alcohol at all :confused: A small shot of Pimms into a lot of lemonade, may give the taste without lots of the alcohol, IYSWIM.

    Or try this thread - non-alcoholic cocktails.

    In Tesco's they had Schweppes "Summer Punch & Lemonade", which looked a heck of a lot like a non-alcoholic version of Pimms - you could try serving that with lots of ice, some fruit & mint? Pic here

    I had that Schwepes summer punch at a picnic last week cos I was driving. It tastes exactly like Pimms - even had a bit of a cool minty taste as if it had been sitting in a jug full of fruit, cucumber and mint! It would be nice to decant it and add some bits so that it feels a bit more special but apart from that it was a good alternative to alcohol.
