Pimm’s No 1 Cup (100cl, 25%)
The quintessentially English summertime drink. We love Pimm’s, and nothing better than a Number 1 cup on a hot summer’s day, made with cucumber, lemon, strawberries, mint and good quality lemonade. Pimm’s itself has a gin base, and offers subtle spices and citrus flavours. Delicious!
Pimm’s No. 1 is a quintessential British gin-based fruit cup aperitif known for its refreshing taste and association with summer social events like Wimbledon. It has a secret recipe featuring a blend of herbal botanicals, caramelized orange, and warm spices, resulting in a complex and balanced flavor profile.
