I can't find it on youtube, but this if where I would post the Archer scene about Pimp Cups vs Pimm's Cups, and Pimm's cups in a pimp cup.

Will the recipe from How To Archer suffice?

Pimm's Cup

At first glance, this drink seems like the Brits tried to do to cocktails what they have long done to food. And world wars. Seriously, is that a cucumber in your drink, or are you just glad to see Lend-Lease battleships steaming toward your Luftwaffe-pummeled shitbox of an island?

1 small English cucumber

3 ounces Pimm's No. 1

1 ounce freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice

Pinch of sugar

Sprig of fresh rosemary

Sprig of thyme

Sprig of mint

1 slice Meyer lemon

1 fresh strawberry, halved

3 ounces carbonated lemonade or lemon-lime soda or ginger ale or ginger beer 75

Cut two spears from the cucumber, set aside for garnish, Dice remaining cucumber and place into a cocktail mixer. Muddle, then add Pimm's, lemon juice, sugar, and some ice. Shake vigorously and strain into an ice filled Collins glass (or repurposed 40mm Luftwaffe shell casing). Add the herbs, lemon slice and strawberry halves. Fill the glass with carbonated lemonade (or whatever) and garnish with the cucumber spears. Think about all those brave Americans who died protecting a country that would invent a drink like this. Which, all kidding aside is actually pretty delicious.

75 Hi, welcome to England: we have no idea what we're supposed to be doing.
