Background and Origins of

Pimm's Cup

The Pimm's Cup, a quintessentially British cocktail, has its roots in 19th-century England. This refreshing and fruity drink was invented by James Pimm, a London-based bar owner, in the 1840s. Pimm created the drink as a tonic to aid digestion, originally serving it in a small tankard known as a "No. 1 Cup." The original recipe, known as Pimm's No. 1, features a gin-based liqueur infused with a blend of herbs, spices, and fruit extracts. The cocktail became a staple of British summer culture, especially popular at garden parties, picnics, and sporting events like Wimbledon and the Henley Royal Regatta. Typically made with Pimm's No. 1, lemonade, and an array of fresh garnishes such as cucumber, mint, strawberries, and citrus fruits, the Pimm's Cup is a light and invigorating beverage. Its low alcohol content and refreshing taste make it perfect for warm weather and leisurely afternoons.
