Notes

- Use high-quality Pimms No. 1 for the best flavor.
- For an extra floral note, muddle a few extra mint leaves at the bottom before adding ice.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a touch more elderflower liquor or a splash of simple syrup if desired.
- Ensure your ginger beer is well-chilled before topping off the drink.
