Pimm's No. 1 is a classic British fruit cup and a popular spirit often associated with summer refreshments and outdoor events. First created in 1823 by James Pimm, a London oyster bar owner, it was originally intended as a digestive aid. Pimm's No. 1 is a gin-based liqueur with a distinctive reddish-brown hue, flavored with a blend of botanicals, fruit extracts, and spices. It is typically enjoyed as a long drink when mixed with lemonade or ginger ale, accompanied by various garnishes such as cucumber, mint, oranges, and strawberries. The resulting concoction, known as a Pimm's Cup, is a refreshing and iconic beverage that has become a symbol of British summer socializing. Pimm's No. 1 is often served over ice and is a versatile base for creative cocktails, making it a go-to choice for those seeking a light and flavorful drink.
