Pimm's
A British icon
Pimm's: The ultimate summer serve
The original Pimm's No.1 Cup is a gin-based spirit with a fruity flavour, made from a secret recipe that infuses gin with a delicate combination of herbal botanicals, caramelised oranges and warm spices.
The brand's most renowned cocktail is a Pimm's No. 1 Cup (or a Pimm's No.1 Jug if you're serving to a larger group). But that's not the only way you can enjoy the earthy botanical flavours - Pimm's can also be mixed into long drinks, cocktails and spritzes.
It's Pimm's O'Clock
Fresh, fruity and sweet, Pimm's is the quintessential British summer drink. Whether you're throwing a summer soirée, watching Wimbledon with friends, or dining al fresco in the garden, a pitcher of Pimm's and lemonade is a must.
How to make a jug of Pimm's and Lemonade
- Fill a jug with ice cubes.
- Pour 200ml Pimm's No. 1 and 600ml lemonade. Stir.
- Add strawberries, cucumber, orange and mint.
Enjoy!
The history (and mystery) of Pimm's
Pimm’s is the taste of British summer, so it's no surprise the drink is rooted in British history.
James Pimm had founded his business by 1823 and developed Pimm’s during the 1840s in the heart of London. It was him who blended the famous No.1 Cup - a secret recipe of gin, herbs and liqueur - as an aid for digesting oysters in his London Oyster bar.
To this day, the recipe behind the iconic Pimm's No. 1 remains a closely guarded recipe. The complex fruity notes of bittersweet caramelised orange, fresh citrus & herbal flavours are perfectly balanced with refreshing lemonade.
The taste of Pimm's is a mystery to be savoured, not solved.
