531662 Sun Jun 22 18:45:40 -0700 2008 8 57 Western Canada 0 3803477 I recently discovered a delightful British summer drink called Pimm's. Its big ingredient is a gin-based mix called Pimm's Cup that someone brought back from duty-free in the U.K. Anyone know if I can buy it anywhere in Calgary? Thanks. Sun Jun 22 18:45:42 -0700 2008 45619 alau2 1 3803568 Pimm's is readily available in Canada. Most larger liquor stores (SuperStore, Co-op, Liquor Depot, Willow Park) would carry it I think. I know I have seen it at J Webb Wines (Glenmore Landing) and also Kensington Wine Market.

They maintain a liquor locator application - http://www.alberta-liquor-guide.com/LC/LCCONSUM.nsf/CatalogMain?OpenFrameset And I thought all my tax dollars were wasted.

It is a very popular summertime drink. Pimm's No. 1 is a gin-based spirit. When you're asking about Pimm's Cup, are you referring to a pre-mixed alcoholic beverage that has lemonade + Pimm's No. 1 - or do you mean Pimm's No. 1 - the gin-based spirit? If you mean the spirit, Pimm's No. 1 is available at many liquor stores around - i stock it in my liquor cabinet full time. I bought my last bottle at the Royal Liquor Merchants on 17th Ave SW (now Liquor Depot). I've also seen it at Highlander Liquor on 16th Ave NW. I would not be surprised if Willow Park carried it as well. Call the liquor store ahead and check to make sure, but those are your likely bets. If you're looking for something pre-mixed, im sorry, but i cannot help you there. I wasnt aware of a pre-mixed drink being sold with Pimms in it.

(I shoulda known to have tried the ALCB site. Doh.) Sun Jun 22 21:17:57 -0700 2008 3803638 45619 alau2 1 3805314 Hey Andree, Out of curiosity, where did you "discover" this drink?? I havent found it to be all that common here, but i've been enjoying it for quite a few years now! Mon Jun 23 11:03:11 -0700 2008 3803477 11206 yen 2 3807481 A friend's backyard! She brought it back from the UK and our weekend BBQ also featured quite a few Brits who are working in Calgary who quite enjoyed it. Mon Jun 23 20:54:43 -0700 2008 3805314 45619 alau2 3 3807660 Nice. The perfect hot weather summer drink. I think it's like white shoes though..you're only supposed to drink it before Labour Day... afterwards, it's retired for another year :) Mon Jun 23 22:26:54 -0700 2008 3807481 11206 yen 1 3821248 Only place I found that served Pimm's in Calgary was Original Joe's - Pimm's and ginger correctly garnished with a slice of cucumber. It is the most refreshing Summer cocktail. Fri Jun 27 23:31:17 -0700 2008 3803477 196938 Jkher
