Pimms & Tonic | When the weather gets bright and sunny, make Gin & Tonic in Pimms Style, the British way!
Pimm's Style Gin & Tonic
We, people in Britain generally associate everything with Weather be it Food, Clothing, Outing, Chilling anything. Sometime last week, it almost felt like early spring and the weather demanded a Chilled quintessential drink where a bunch of us could just chill out under a Canopy, yapping for hours.
When the temperature soars after 20 C here in Great Britain and if its Football/ Rugby season by any chance, you are sure to witness the colorful pitcher across every table. It's a classic drink served across popular sporting venues too.
The tagline ‘Pimm's O'Clock', very English was only spoken to British expats and the British Empire in early 20th Century, but today it's a drink for people all around the globe implying lazy, happy days sitting in the sun with nothing to do and no need to worry about time.
But nothing of that sort happened being a mid-week day and I did not have any Pimm's at home too. Gin & Tonic, the cliched combo in Pimm's Style is what I made for the gorgeous weather.
The previous night, when I was working on the imagery layouts, I was all set to adore the moody weather with the drink in a moody style. In the morning, the sun was shining hard, people undressed from one of their top layers while walking up to school and the beaming rays was beckoning the perfect mood to the Pitcher and glasses. Moody diagrams got the fresh look with the bright day!! See how the weather has an impact on your work. Loved every bit of working on this delightful cocktail.
