Pimm’s No. 1 Cup is a gin-based liqueur originally created by James Pimm in the 19th century in London, England. It’s a staple of British summer drinking culture, particularly associated with the Pimm’s Cup cocktail, a refreshing and fruity drink.
Pimm’s No. 1 Cup is made from a secret blend of gin, botanicals, and fruit extracts, including quinine, orange, and spices. It has a dark amber color and a distinctive herbal and fruity flavor profile with hints of citrus and spice. It’s typically enjoyed as a long drink mixed with lemonade or ginger ale and served over ice with garnishes such as cucumber, strawberries, mint, and orange slices.
The Pimm’s Cup cocktail is iconic in British culture, often served at summer garden parties, Wimbledon, and other outdoor events. It’s known for its light and refreshing taste, making it a popular choice for warm-weather gatherings.
