1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside for garnish.
2
Prepare the Lemon
Wash the lemon and cut it in half. Squeeze the juice from one half into a separate mixing jug, and slice the other half into wedges for garnish.

3
Combine Base Ingredients
In a large pitcher, pour 2 cups of Pimm's No. 1 and 1 tablespoon of absinthe. Stir gently to combine.
4
Add Fresh Ingredients
Add the cucumber slices and the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
5
Mix with Tonic Water
Slowly pour in 3 cups of tonic water into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.

6
Garnish and Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the prepared mixture over the ice. Garnish each glass with the lemon wedges and additional cucumber slices. Serve immediately.
