I fell in love---what a wonderful summer drink. Now I'm on the look out for a place to get a well-made Pimm's Cup. Even better if the location has some relaxing outdoor seating, since this is such a classic summer drink.

Have fun Thu Apr 23 10:21:12 -0700 2009 4618692 124764 dining with doc 2 4621958 That's a good idea for when I make a day trip to Annapolis this summer. But I'm actually looking for something in the DC area. Thanks though (sounds like warm-weather heaven!) Thu Apr 23 10:34:32 -0700 2009 4621908 76776 Elyssa 3 4624262 I had an awful one at 701. I asked for a Pimms Cup and the barkeep gave me...a glass with three fingers of Pimms! I had a really good Pimms Cup at the Virginia Gold Cup steeplechase, but that was years ago. Don't know if they still offer them, or if it's just wine and beer. Jack russel terrier races are not something to be watched sober. http://www.vagoldcup.com/vgc.cfm Fri Apr 24 04:53:19 -0700 2009 4621958 12359 monkeyrotica 1 4626076 I would bet my 11th toe (extra chromosome) that Poste or PS7 might pull that off.

Mon Apr 27 07:38:52 -0700 2009 4618692 93640 ad.mich 2 4631953 Ooooo good call! A Pimm's and their deviled eggs seem like the perfect warm weather snack. Thanks for the recommendation!

Tue Apr 28 08:40:02 -0700 2009 4618692 151336 BaltoPhilFood 1 4669750 saw Pimm's Cup on the specialty drink menu tonite at Victoria Gastro Pub in Columbia. So far every beverage and morsel of food we have had there has been great so I can only assume that the Pimm's Cup will also be great Sat May 09 18:34:26 -0700 2009 4618692 124764 dining with doc
