Pimm's No. 1

Pimm’s No. 1 is an iconic English summer aperitif known for its refreshing character and is an essential part of British summer culture. This drink has a gin base and is enriched with a blend of herbs, spices, and citrus notes that create a delicate and aromatic flavor profile.

Pimm’s originated in the 19th century in London, where it was created by James Pimm as a refreshing drink served with meals. It gradually became a symbol of British summer events, such as garden parties, picnics, and sporting events like Wimbledon or the Ascot races.

Pimm’s No. 1 itself has a light spicy flavor with citrus notes, which is best expressed in the famous Pimm’s Cup drink. This refreshing cocktail is traditionally made with lemonade, cucumber, lemon, strawberries, and mint leaves, creating an ideal drink for hot summer days.

The aroma features subtle citrus and herbal notes complemented by light spicy nuances. The taste is fresh, slightly sweet, and citrusy, with a gentle hint of spices and herbs.

Pimm’s No. 1 is most commonly served diluted with lemonade or tonic with plenty of ice and fresh fruit, resulting in a typical British summer drink.
