Takes me back to when we worked in a pub in the 60's Viv. Pimms Nos. 1 and 5, were all the rage then, and what a pain it was to make them, especially when there was a rush on. Those and snowballs.....always took time......

I hated making Snowballs and Harvey Wallbangers. Also used to make Tequilla Sunrise, Blue Lagoon, Brandy Alexander, Champagne Cocktail, Zombie, Pina Colada and Whisky Sour and a lot of others I can't remember now. My favourite to drink was the Brandy Alexander.
