Note

For best flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches and crisp cucumbers. If peaches are out of season, substitute with sliced strawberries or melon.

You can adjust the sweetness by using more or less lemonade/Sprite. For a stronger drink, increase the ratio of Pimm's and Rum.

Muddle the fruit gently before adding ice to release more juices and flavors.
