Pimm's traces back to 1823, when James Pimm, an oyster bar owner in the City of London, began serving a gin-based tonic to help patrons digest their oysters. He served it in a small tankard known as a "No. 1 Cup," which gave the drink its name, and by the 1840s it had grown into a commercial product sold well beyond his own bar. The brand passed through several owners over the following century, including a period alongside sister versions made with brandy and other spirits, before Diageo acquired Pimm's in 1997 and continues to produce it in England today.

Pimm's No. 1 Cup starts with a gin base into which a proprietary blend of fruit peels, herbs, spices, and a hint of quinine is infused. The exact formula is a closely guarded secret, reportedly known in full to only a handful of people at any given time, and the botanicals are left to macerate before the liquid is sweetened and blended to its finished strength. The result is bottled at twenty five percent alcohol by volume and carries the drink's distinctive reddish brown color.

On the nose, Pimm's shows bittersweet orange peel alongside warm spice notes of cinnamon and star anise. The palate opens with orange marmalade and citrus zest, moving through herbal, faintly bitter undertones from the gin base, and finishes clean and refreshing with a touch of lingering spice.

"Pimm's No. 1 is the most popular of the liqueur category known as cups. First created in 1840, No. 1 uses gin as its base along with a secret blend of spices, fruit, and botanicals. There have been other Pimm's over the years; No. 2 had a Scotch base, No. 3 used brandy, No. 4 was rum, No. 5 rye, and No. 6 used Vodka. They have all had been discontinued, but Diageo which currently owns Pimm's, rebranded No. 3 as Winter's Cup and it still uses brandy as its base. Every bar, both at home and otherwise, has their own recipe for their perfect Pimm's Cup cocktail. Some use lemonade, others lemon-lime soda or ginger ale. The sky is the limit for fruit additions, but strawberry and cucumber slices are quite common, especially during Wimbledon.

Tasting Notes

The aroma is quite fruity with berries and lemon dominating the aroma. There's a gentle dark spiced element lurking in the background with cinnamon and licorice standing out. It is moderately bittersweet and just aching to be poured into a highball glass with bubbles of your choice. A Pimm's Cup is de rigueur"
