About 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. Established in 1840 by James Pimm in his famous Oyster Bar in London, Pimm’s and the accompanying phrase ‘Pimm’s O’Clock’ have become icons of British summertime. The original Pimm’s is called ‘No.1’, with various different ‘cups’ added to the range over the years – including the Pimm’s Vodka Cup (No.6), the brandy-based Pimm’s Winter (No.3), as well as the newest addition, Pimm’s Cider Cup (flavours include Strawberry & Cucumber and Summer Fruits).
