Pimms Cups: Limonta or Schweppe's Bitter Lemon?

[ziggylu]

Planning to serve Pimms Cups for a party Friday night. Have never had one myself actually. Have both Pellegrino Limonata and Schweppe's Bitter Lemon in the pantry. Would one be better than the other for this?

if you have not had a pimm's cup yourself, i would highly recommend sampling one beforehand to make sure you make the right soda pick.

i bought a bottle several years ago and could stand it with any type of lemon-lime soda. while searching for something to do with some wretched watermelon soda someone brought over, i found a match made in heaven.

I bet both would be good, but the bitter lemon would be more my style. (I'm looking forward to a Pimm's Cup later today at the Napoleon House in New Orleans.)

Where's the "like" button when we need one? I want to be in New Orleans with a Pimm's Cup in my hand.

While maybe not the best Pimm's Cup in the world, the one at the Napoleon House was pretty good, and sitting in the courtyard watching the world go by was great.

Good year at Tales?

[JMF]

Yes, pretty darn good.

I'm pretty sure Napoleon's uses 7Up. I had one at a party that was made with Sprite and I had to throw it out. Tasted like carbonated Karo syrup.
