History,
Pimm’s has been intrinsically linked with the British summertime for years, so it’s no surprise the drink is rooted in British history.
Founded in London in 1840 – the same year King’s College Hospital was opened – it was a time for celebrations. It was James Pimm who blended his famous No.1 Cup – a secret recipe of gin, herbs and liqueur – as an aid for digesting oysters in his London Oyster bar.
To this day, the recipe behind the iconic Pimm’s No. 1 remains a closely guarded secret. The complex fruity notes of bittersweet caramelised orange, fresh citrus and herbal flavours are perfectly balanced with refreshing lemonade.
The taste of Pimm’s is a mystery to be savoured, not solved.
Tasting Notes,
Bittersweet, orangey, herbal and mildly bitter with camomile, cinnamon, star anise, dark liquorice, chocolate and rootyness.
