- Add fruits and herbs: Stir in the thinly sliced cucumber, quartered strawberries, and torn basil leaves. Mix gently to distribute flavors evenly.

Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Pimm’s No. 1 with additional Limonata or lemon soda.
- Adjust the lemon juice to taste for preferred balance of tartness.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries and fresh basil leaves for the best aroma and flavor.
- Letting the cocktail sit longer than 10 minutes may intensify the flavors but can also cause the fruit to become soggy.
- Serve chilled and consume promptly for optimal taste.
