Forget the team’s poor form and show some pour form instead. Get your friends round for a night of champion-sips and watch the match in style. These drinks are in a league of their own. When you’re settling in for some Centre Court action, Pimm’s is a particular crowd favourite. You can’t beat the classic British mix of Pimm’s, orange, cucumber, strawberry, lemonade and mint – coming together for the perfect serve of Pimm’s No.1 and Lemonade. The first day of the Lord’s Test deserves something a little regal, and a delivery of Pimm’s Royale – a mix of Pimm’s, Champagne and a slice of orange – really is a glass act. While enjoying the FA cup final, you don’t have to make do with one final cup. Mix a ready-made punch and you won’t miss a minute of the action. So show timewasting the red card mixture of rum, apple juice, lemon juice, ginger beer, ginger, cinnamon, Angostura bitters and sugar. The Rum Punch: what a line up! Things will be all white on the night if you blend some vodka, coffee liqueur and cream together for a White Russian. Enjoyed by ‘The Dude’ character in the Big Lebowski at the local bowling alley, it’s a big-game drink, perfect for those Champions League nights. If you need to make a substitution, milk will do instead of cream, but don’t relegate the Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur or vodka to the stands. Famed for its association with the Kentucky Derby horse racing, the Mint Julep will please the crowd at your summer event. Bourbon, sugar syrup and mint score highly in any taste test – and will have you racing for the crushed ice.
