Few drinks say British summer quite like Pimm’s.
The original PIMM’S No.1 Cup is a gin-based spirit with a fruity flavour, made from a secret recipe infusing gin with a delicate combination of herbal botanicals, caramelised orange and warm spices.
Originally blended by James Pimm as an aid to digesting oysters in 1840,
Pimm’s went on to be sent to soldiers at the far edges of the Empire, be served at Queen Victoria’s lunches and ended up making its debut at Wimbledon in 1971, where it remains pride of place today.
PIMM’S No.1 Cup.
Ingredients:
Highball glass filled with ice

150ml lemonade
Strawberry, orange & cucumber
Finish with a sprig of mint
