    I can remember trying it at Wimbledon once and thought it was horrible, although it was ready mixed from a can, but you cant go wrong for that price :)

    So, apart from whatever it was mixed with in the can, what can you mix it with?

    The can ones are really strong! - if you mix it yourself your more likely to put more soft drink in that the alchol.. just down to personal preference i guess..

    You can mix it with more or less anything.. fizzy drinks work best though i find.. I like mixing mine with the Asda rashberry lemonade.. yummy!

    I find this copy to be abit nicer than the Pimms original.. as it doesn't have that bitter after taste.. maybe its just me?

    Bargin though! I'm lucky.. got 2 aldi's near me.. so might be sneaky and nip into both of them.. beats the £10 a litre real Pimms at sainsburys and tescos..

    Pimm's recommend 1 part Pimm's to 3 parts lemonade, pubs and restaurants often do it weaker than this.

    I wonder what the mix is for the canned version then.. as it tastes soo soo strong!

    Pimms No 1 is already gin-based

    We like ours with Ginger ale and lots of fruit and ice.

    This. It's much nicer than Lemonade.
