If in doubt, a couple of screwdrivers will bring you up to the required level (avoid Bloody Marys as the salt content of tomato juice can be dangerously high).

Sangria is good as well - wine is just grape juice, brandy is extra strong grape juice (so better for you) and there's fruit as well!

One has to ask "Which Pimm's, Sir?"
I recall a bar in Singapore in the days of Empire where they had the full set … did it go to #8 or #9?
I got confused after #5

I'm sure Eastern Airways used to have Winter Pimms on the trolley.
And of course, let's not forget the inimitable "Turbo Pimms". No worries about the choice of lemonade there...

If it counts as a fruit I was dangerously malnourished while staying at the four seasons Mumbai last week. They had no Pimms at their rooftop bar! I was simply shocked given India's commonwealth status!
