I got this recipe a year a go when i was at the slimming world groups the ingredients she told us was

3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
jug of lemonade (sugar free)
freash mint
some sliced/chopped lemons/limes/oranges ( but dont need all)
ice cubes

put the balsamic vinegar into the jug add the lemonade mix it and them add the mint, lemon, lime, orange then add some ice to cool it. serve it tastes just like pimms and i have it every sunny day great for parties and all syn free.

extra tip cut your fruit into pieces (lemon,lime,orange) and then put in a freezer bag and freeze, once there frozen you can take out some iced fruit cubes and leaves your drink fresh and cooled.

Just had this today at our bbq and it was delicious. Hubby, son & girlfriend also raved about it

I've been sipping it this afternoon in a display of British-ness, tennis strawberries and Pimms in the sun, does it get any better? Thanks for the idea!

Lol! - Yes, I think it is amazing, but still really miss my glass(s) of wine :cry:

Strangely enough I'm finding it a bit sweet - must be cos I've stopped taking sweetner in my coffee!!!! Anyone got suggestions for reducing the 'sweetness' of it without losing taste?

Maybe a splash of lemon juice??

Wow just tried this and while its not quite real pimms its a very acceptable alternative

Wow, despite this sounding very strange I gave it a go last night because of all the comments and it was GORGEOUS! My new summer drink.
