Heck, my nearby Stop &#38; Shop in Malden, which has a liquor section, even carries it. As for other Pimm's recipes, I posted one from a cocktail book here: http://jiggle.anaze.us/archives/2006/03/cocktails_of_the_week_pim.html The Pimm's Reef wasn't too bad.

Martignetti's and Blanchards both carry it, as does (I think) the spirits shop on Charles Street at the bottom of Beacon Hill. Rick - I'll give bitter lemon a try when I next come across a bottle (it's not easy to find in Boston), but I suspect it may be too bitter for the spirit. But who knows? I'm sure a good imagination can come up with another drink using Pimm's, but I don't think there's anything remotely traditional to use it in besides the Pimms cup. Sounds like a project for an Mixology Monday, Advanced Edition! Mike - Pimm’s isn’t too hard to find.

I know Canada Dry makes one that is readily available. I had little interest in Pimm's No.1 until reading this, mostly due to the lack of versatility. What other drinks can you make with the stuff? Chris,
