Questions

Can I make Pimm's Cup without alcohol?

The alcohol here is 4 oz Pimm's No. 1 liqueur and 8 oz ginger beer. Replace a base spirit with the same volume of a zero-proof spirit, or with chilled tea or tonic for bite; replace sparkling wine with sparkling water and a squeeze of citrus. Keep every other line as written, and expect a lighter, sweeter drink, since alcohol also carries bitterness and body.

How many calories are in Pimm's Cup?

One serving (the recipe makes 2) is about 140 calories, with 0 g protein, 12 g carbohydrate and 0 g fat, plus 1 g fiber and 25 mg sodium.

Can I batch Pimm's Cup for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Halved, the Pimm's drops from 4 oz to 2 oz; doubled, it is 8 oz. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To batch it for a crowd, multiply everything but add the ice only when serving.
