Pimm’s Cup

Pimm’s Cup

Pimm’s is an English brand of gin-based fruit cup but may also be considered a liqueur or the basis of a sling or punch.

It was first produced in 1823 by James Pimm and has been owned by Diageo since 1997.

Pimm’s has a dark brown colour with a reddish tint, and a subtle taste of spice and citrus fruit.

As a summer long drink, it is normally served as a pimm’s cup, a drink with “English-style” lemonade, as well as various chopped garnishes, particularly apple, cucumber, orange, lemon, strawberry and mint or borage, though mint is more common.

Ginger ale is used as a common substitute for lemonade.
