How to Make Pimm's Cups For a Crowd | Julia at Home

[@ericduffield524]

ATK + Pimm's cup + Julia = ❤

[@rudyvel]

Oh wow! I've only had Pimms once when we were in York, England. It was so delicious and light. I'm going to have to make some now and Shepherd's pie! Thanks Julia!

[@travissimpson7061]

You, my loving cook, said, "let the flavors 'marry'"... Thank you!!!!

[@ManuGumi]

Pimm's is the go to cocktail when we have guests. For 1 Longdrink glass we use 1 tablespoon of cucumber pieces, 1tbsp lemon pieces, 1 tbsp orange pieces, top the rest of the glass with ice cubes, add 4cl Pimm's No 1 and fill the rest with Ginger Ale. Always a crowd pleaser and as Julia mentioned interchangeable in many ways :)

[@davidbuben3262]

Very nice Julia. I worked as a logger in the giant oldgrowth of the Tongass in south east Alaska for decades. And sometimes I would make gin and tonic for my crew and say, "it's a gentleman's drink". All hoity toity. Of course us loggers were anything but. I enjoyed the video. Thanks. Just finished writing down the recipe today for crispy bread and butter pickles! From ATK'S video from 3 years ago. It's that time of year again. I've been a fan for over 8 years now. Cheerio.

[@luckyduckie2000]

oh my that looks so cool and refreshing.

[@josephgaviota]

I enjoy watching Julia run the knife. Very nice.

[@judithgeldhauser7778]

Makin it this weekend for my Jersey Girls visiting me in CT!!

[@ericawentz2734]

Thank you, Julia! I can’t wait to make this recipe for my sister- Pimm’s cup is her favorite drink! Keep up the good work!

[@CatherineC.2123]

When the paint comes off the Pyrex cup, use it to store asparagus in water

[@rudyvel]

That's why I don't put mine in the dishwasher. The only bad thing is that my 4 cup Pyrex shattered in a thousand pieces+teeny tiny shards too!) and it took over an hour to clean up. 😢

[@markdickson3820]

This is a classic British summer garden party drink. Sounds like you guys have incorporated it into unique drinks but I do wonder if there was a description that was lost in translation. Pimms & lemonade with cucumber, mint & strawberries but uk style lemonade. Uk lemonade is most similar to Sprite, we don’t really have a real lemonade like you guys drink made with lots of lemons. Perhaps it’s nice this way too, but I’d give it a try with sprite as to me pimms & lemonade (sprite) is a lovely summer drink. Separately, I love how you Americans always think British, English or whatever is fancy…if only you knew what the average British person was like. You guys are far more fancy in many ways

[@DeliaLee8]

Wow - haven't had a Pimms cup in years. Great blast from the past. Love the glasses and pitcher.

[@Mimiclobster]

Love Pimms! A must summer drink.

[@leighalmond4128]

Oh that looks so refreshing!

[@mrlmontreal]

Looks absolutely perfect to me! I always wondered how to recreate R. White’s Lemonade (the “official” mixer in the classic British cocktail), and feel so embarrassed to admit I hadn’t thought of adding soda water to lemon juice! I’m definitely going to try this! (I’m also going to send Adam a cocktail recipe that we love, to forward to you to try).

[@miralomasf7x7]

It looks so light and refreshing, like a mojito or mint julep.

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

Mom still has those glasses (in green) on the top shelf in the kitchen. Those were the fancy "holiday" glasses when I was a kid in the '60's. Mom is my neice and nephews' Oma.

[@karldelavigne8134]

This was always the drink of choice at student garden parties, although more adventurous hosts sometimes made claret cup with plenty of borage.

[@kaffepojke]

I love the Pimm's Punch at Carthay Circle Restaurant inside Disney California Adventure (Anaheim, CA)

[@wastrelway3226]

This is sort of like a British sangria. Pimm's has an alcohol content similar to fortified wine, and then you add fruit and fizz.

[@SarahRenz59]

Julia, seeing your grandmother's glassware triggered a memory: I'm pretty sure my mom had the same glasses, except in Wedgewood blue. They disappeared a long time ago; I don't know what happened to them. Thanks for the blast from the past!

[@BillBearNJ]

My mom had those glasses and pitcher as well. She got hers as a premium from a gas station back when they did things like give away glasses and dishes and knives. Imagine.

[@lindac7146]

Looks refreshing.

[@genehammond7239]

Perfect for hot summer days !!!

[@kristaself126]

Looks so refreshing.

[@jacquelinehassan7995]

Always garnished with a maraschino cherry!

[@DJL78]

I have the same pitcher!!

[@angko-pe]

I love Pimms cups! We even had them instead of champagne at our wedding 😍😊

[@robb2biago]

Try Pimm’s with champagne! Now that’s pretty tasty. Ok I use cava but still tasty!

[@angko-pe]

@@robb2biago unfortunately can't drink alcohol anymore, but Pimms with champagne sounds delicious 🥂

[@T0beyeus]

Looks delicious, I never heard of Pimm's but apparently it is a Gin based drink, and I enjoy Gin!

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

I had that pitcher and glass set over 50 years ago. So pretty.

[@annwilliams7000]

It looks like Wedgwood Jasperware. It’s beautiful and I want a set like that badly. Any idea if it can be found nowadays?

[@chandlerhall9619]

Yep--it was made by a glass company called Jeanette. The Greek motif is called "Hellenic." Not sure what the Egyptian pattern is called. They came in green, blue, and light purple and are pretty accessible on eBay in a variety of sized and patterns

[@Martina1192]

@@annwilliams7000 you can probably find it on eBay very easily. I found 2 glasses, same as Julia’s, at Goodwill recently, that I still have to post for sale on eBay. :)

[@charlieharris3240]

@@annwilliams7000 Too bad the editor that took a hatchet to the original episode of Julia at Home for this video where Julia said the glasses were her grandmother's but cut out the part where she got the pitcher from eBay to match them.

[@tomsparks6099]

They call lemon seeds "pips" in England. Cheers, mate! ( I have the ice bucket for that cocktail set, if you want it).

[@iDuckman]

Thanks! Always wondered what to do with Pimms, other than use it as a gin booster. More mixology, please.

[@sonnydaze56]

Add red rock ginger ale, gives a little extra flavor

[@shalama101]

I can’t wait to try this! Is pimms easy to find and what’s a good alternative.

[@lupemartinez1411]

Sounds easy and delicious. Will need to find Pimms nearby.

[@trabajaba]

This could be a series called "For A Crowd," or something 😄

[@flybyairplane3528]

A friend brought back2 bottles from some vacation, so she drank this quite often,,,,,,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Italian_Gentleman_of_leisure]

This is the weirdest recipe for a pimms cup I’ve ever seen, but god bless I guess

[@blkwheeler32]

Where did you get that juicer?

[@DeborahCaldwell77]

Ooooooo o o a Wedgewood pitcher

[@barbaracholak5204]

Morning ATK Salutations from California 😋

[@210dixiedee]

Can you make simple syrup with stevia drops?

[@allisonmoore1802]

I was thinking Allulose since it mimics sugar?

[@DeborahCaldwell77]

I’ve never had it!!!

[@robb2biago]

Well that was a lot of simple syrup for my taste. I just use Pimm’s, club soda, and cucumber vodka. I don’t remember lemon juice, but it definitely looked delightful.

[@mddell58]

And, THAT is what makes the world 🌎 go 'round. (differences) 😃

[@robb2biago]

@@mddell58 pimms and cava or champagne that’s my favorite. I forgot that for some reason. I’d probably still add vodka.

[@voodoo2882]

cheers

[@PookyMo100]

I dunno what is Pimm's but watched it 'till the end 🙂

[@swedeyu]

I have never had one, but now I must run out and buy some Pimms to make this.

[@jayopera]

I inherited the same iced tea glasses but, alas, no pitcher!

[@warrenwyatt8752]

I clicked on the video because I recognized that pattern. When I was a kid, my mom had the same pitcher and iced tea glasses. I believe the glasses were in a wire caddy.

[@annwilliams7000]

It looks like Wedgwood Jasperware. I’d love to find it now - it’s so beautiful!

[@charlieharris3240]

In the original, full episode of Julia at Home, but hacked out of this video is the part where Julia says she got the pitcher from eBay to match her grandmother's glasses.

[@AnEpicNguyen]

I literally had my first Pimms cup last week lol

[@sheilaathay2034]

What is Pimms and where do we get it in the US. I keep hearing about Pimms!

[@scrappylifter8318]

I buy it at Total Wine

[@Martina1192]

Go to literally any liquor store, they probably have it.

[@bonniehose-mg2gh]

Where can I buy pimms

[@skip123davis]

would have been nice if you'd explained what pims tastes like...

[@Mark_Nadams]

Garnishes are nice but with that many it should be served with a straw.

[@jeffwhitehead7990]

Who made your knife?

[@carolinepeterson7995]

If you put it in HD and look around 5:23, you can see the logo on the knife. It appears to be by Feder Knives.

[@jeffwhitehead7990]

@@carolinepeterson7995 Good eye. Well done. Thank you

[@gloriousexceptionalism2346]

😭😍The sound of those cuts - like the smooth glide of great scissors 🎶

[@petergio4446]

IMHO..should have zested the peels of the lemons first for a great garnish or for a later recipe since you payed for it 🙂

[@marieandrews3285]

What does pimm's taste like?

[@technoforever888]

Never heard of pims, but I'm not a drinker either.

[@mrav8r]

Julia filtered out the seeds from the lemon juice, but she forgot to remove the seeds from the lemon slices at the beginning…! 😂 sorry I’m ‘that guy’.

[@christophermartin972]

I was expecting some type of guilded chalice, encrusted in diamonds and trimmed with some purple crushed velvet accents……ooooooh it’s Pimm’s Cup…..oops my bad 👍

[@colorsmith5569]

Pimms cup, hohos down

[@SEEshadow]

"it means you don't have to boil it, I just use boiling water" 🤣

[@annwilliams7000]

What Julia meant was that she didn’t need to boil the sugar and water together on the stove, she just had to boil some water in an electric kettle (uses much less power than gas) and pour it over the sugar to dissolve. A great tip I will use!

[@SEEshadow]

@@annwilliams7000 oh I know what she meant, it's essentially the same thing. Folks with kettles don't boil sugar and water on their stove. It just sounded funny when she said it.

[@ericsimandl3998]

Vacationing in London, we'd take a pub break. I'd get a pint of ale, my daughter, a cider, and my wife, a Pimm's Cup. Refreshed, we'd continue.

[@grehsmxkjx]

Huh I thought it was served in a silver chalice...... maybe I'm thinking of a Pimp's cup

[@jennifer7685]

i'm so confused. i thought we were making "pims", but then you make a juice and add pims to it... so what is pims? is this alcohol?

[@rudinah8547]

The true lazy pimms cup I do is one part each of pimms, sprite, and gin. Perfect for shots too, for pregaming the night

[@Jonathon_H]

As a lover of pimms, I was actually disappointed with this rendition of a pimms cup. This was nowhere near a traditional pimms cup.

[@scholarsoldado6058]

Celebrate the summer with alcohol. Best done at home.

[@hollowpoint45acp]

grandma's pitcher and glasses or not--how about using clear implements so we can see what's being made?

[@1111MeditationPortal]

Perfect for these days

[@ebybeehoney]

You lost me with "cucumber".
