A Guide to Pimm’s

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 caramelized orange, fresh citrus, and herbal flavors are perfectly balanced with refreshing lemonade. 

The taste of Pimm's is a mystery to be savored, not solved.
