Pimm’s No. 1 is a gin-based potation made in England from dry gin, liqueur, fruit juices, and spices. Served with lemon soda or ginger ale, it becomes a Pimm’s Cup. Pimm’s No. 1 was created in the mid-18th century by English oyster bar owner James Pimm. The recipe is still a secret; supposedly, only six people know exactly how it is made. It has a dark, golden brown color, a medium body, and a taste of quinine, citrus fruits, and spice. Its low alcohol content of only 25 percent has made Pimm’s a drink to have when you are having more than one. As was customary at the time, Pimm served the cocktail in tankards—hence the name Pimm’s Cup. The rage for this relative of the Sling became so great that Pimm mass-produced and bottled it along with Pimm’s 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6: whiskey, brandy, rum, rye, and vodka, respectively. Detractors have likened the earthy mixture to liquid dirt mellowed by iodine, but the Pimm’s Cup is still the traditional drink of Wimbledon, with visitors to the matches consuming some 40,000 pints a year. The addition of a cucumber slice gives the drink some truck as a health food. Some.

Pimm's Cup: A Favorite British Lemonade Cocktail Recipe

• 3 mins
• Prep: 3 mins,
• Cook: 0 mins
• Yield: 1 serving

The Pimm's Cup is both a liqueur and a mixed drink. It is a delightful and easy beverage that pairs the namesake liqueur with lemonade and it may quickly become one of your new favorites.

Pimm's is very popular in the United Kingdom and the mixed drink could be considered the 'official' refreshment of Wimbledon. It is a spectacular summer cocktail that is fitting for a tennis match in July or any other occasion, for that matter.

The liqueur featured is Pimm's Cup No. 1, a gin-based spirit with the flavor of spiced fruit that originated at the Oyster Bar in London. Adding a mixer as subtle as lemonade enhances its character and turns it into a stimulating and light beverage.

This first recipe is also called 'Pimm's Original' by The Pimm's Company. Though there are many recipes for a Pimm's Cup No. 1, this should really be considered the most traditional.

What You'll Need

• 1 part Pimm's Cup No. 1
• 3 parts lemonade
• Mint, orange, and/or strawberries for garnish
• Cucumber slice or peel for garnish

How to Make It

1. Pour the liqueur into a collins glass filled with ice cubes.
2. Add the lemonade.
3. Garnish with the cucumber and any combination of mint, orange, or strawberries.

It is more 'traditional' for a sparkling lemonade to be used in the drink though the fizz is left out in The Pimm's Company's current recipe. It is a fantastic addition, however, and you can bring it back in any number of ways.

• Quite simply, add a splash of sparkling water or any clear soda. Even tonic water will do because the original Pimm's Cup No. 1 is reported to have included quinine.

• Carbonate a still lemonade directly using a soda machine.
• Use sparkling water (seltzer or club soda) as a portion of the water while mixing lemonade.

Variations on the Pimm's Cup

As mentioned, there are many recipes for a Pimm's Cup. The one below includes the traditional sparkling water. Also, notice how the amount of liqueur is increased, giving the drink a little more punch (as you'll see, it's very light so this may not be a bad idea).

Now, if you'd like to shake things up a little more, here are two very popular variations:

What is Pimm's Cup No. 1?

Pimm's is the familiar name for a liqueur that is formally known as Pimm's Cup No. 1 (the same as the mixed drink, though the drink typically drops the 'No. 1').

It is a gin-based liqueur with a deep red color that is flavored with 'herbal botanicals,' spices, and caramelized orange. What exactly those botanicals and spices are, only the people behind the brand know for sure.

The story begins in 1840 with James Pimm at his Oyster Bar in London. As was customary at the time, he was a master of creating his own liqueurs and he called each of his secret recipes a 'house cup.'

Rather than giving each liqueur a unique name, Pimm numbered his cups. They quickly became famous and before the turn of the century they were bottled and sold outside the bar.

Over the years, there has been a total of six Pimm's recipes that were bottled and sold. Each began with a different base liquor and used various herbs, fruits, and spices to create the unique flavors.

• Pimm's Cup No. 1 - gin
• Pimm's Cup No. 2 - scotch
• Pimm's Cup No. 3 - brandy
• Pimm's Cup No. 4 - rum
• Pimm's Cup No. 5 - rye whiskey
• Pimm's Cup No. 6 - vodka

Pimm's fell out of the limelight around the 1970s and dramatic changes have been made to the brand's portfolio. Today, The Pimm's Company produces only three liqueurs; the gin, brandy, and vodka versions. Of these, only Pimm's Cup No. 1 held onto its original name.

• Pimm's Cup No. 1 - As mentioned, gin with herbs, spices, and caramelized oranges. 25% ABV (50 proof)
• Blackberry & Elderflower - A recipe based on No. 6 with vodka, this is a fascinating fruit cup of the named ingredients. It can also be used in the Pimm's Cup No. 1 drink recipe. 20% ABV (40 proof)
• Winter Cup (No. 3) - Brandy-based with cinnamon, caramel, and orange that is the brand's answer for the winter months. Try this one with ginger ale. 25% ABV (50 proof)

As of 2016, The Pimm's Company is a Diageo brand and you can generally find any of these bottles for around $20.

How Strong is the Pimm's CupDrink?

The Pimm's Original mixed drink is extremely light and has an alcohol content of right around 6% ABV (12 proof). This is about the same as the average beer so feel free to have a second round.

A Bite of Britain: Pimm’s No.1 Cup Cocktail

Celebrate the British May bank holiday weekend by serving a refreshing Pimm’s No. 1 Cup Cocktail.

In Britain the first weekend in May is the May Bank Holiday Weekend. A bank holiday is a day (usually a Monday) when, as you might have guessed from the name, then banks are closed. It’s just another way of saying ‘official holiday’. Schools are closed and most people have the day off work. This particular holiday is, I believe, meant to harken the arrival of summer and it usually does coincide with the beginning of sunnier days. I say sunnier because, well, it’s the UK. Don’t expect the tropics. Unless of course you want tropical-style rain, because lately that’s what we’ve been inundated with.

Although technically in drought, this island has been water-logged for the past weeks and even we soggy Brits are starting to feel a bit saturated. My neighbours are building something in their garden, hidden under a tarpaulin, that ominously resembles an ark. Enough said. Regardless of the weather, though, the stiff upper lip prevails and you will see us out in our gardens, huddled under umbrellas, toasting the arrival of British summertime with a refreshing Pimm’s No. 1 Cup Cocktail. You see, the May Bank Holiday is also the proverbial cuckoo that announces ‘Pimm’s O’Clock’ in Britain.

If you are unfamiliar with the Pimm’s phenomenon, let me try to explain. Pimm’s No.1 Cup is a tart and fruity (and slightly alcoholic) mixer, indigenous to this island. It makes its annual debut along with the sun tan lotion, and is often applied just as generously. The exact recipe for the cordial is a closely-guarded secret, but it’s something like a fruity, herby sweet (red) vermouth. In fact, if you can’t get your hands on Pimm’s, sweet vermouth is a decent substitute.

Served ice cold, with lemonade (the British version, similar to 7-Up, not American squeezed lemons) and a slightly surprising mix of fresh fruit and vegetables, the first Pimm’s of the season is greeted with something akin to religious veneration. Luckily it’s only 50 proof so, especially when diluted with 3 parts lemonade, its the ideal tipple for long, hot (or not), weekends. Bottoms up!

• ½ cup (125 ml) Pimm's
• 1½ cups (375 ml) lemonade
• 2 cucumber spears
• 2 slices orange
• 2 slices lime
• 2 slices lemon
• ¼ apple, diced
• 2 strawberries, quartered
• 2 sprigs fresh mint
• Ice cubes to serve

1. Divide your fruits, cucumber and mint between the glasses.
2. Drop a couple of ice cubes into each glass.
3. In a pitcher, mix the Pimm's with the lemonade.
4. Pour it into the prepared glasses and serve immediately.

Curious about her British mother's seemingly bizarre love of cheese & onion sandwiches, Ruby moved to England and discovered an island full of people eating them. She now lives among them, works as a freelance writer and photographer and yes, occasionally enjoys a good cheese & onion.

I love Pimm’s. I only tried it once, though, and I broke out into hives. What a bummer of an allergy.

That IS a bummer Julie, but are you sure it was the Pimm’s and not something else in the glass (strawberries, for example)? If so, perhaps try the vermouth or fig syrup alternatives?

This is a very delicious cocktail. I live in Berlin and I found a great bar, where it tastes perfect. This is Salut Bar. They serve it in two different variations: Ginger Ale and English lemonade. Second one is the best choice for the perfect taste!

An Easy Classic Pimm's and Lemonade Recipe

• 7 mins
• Prep: 5 mins,
• Cook: 2 mins
• Yield: Serves 4

Who could ever consider an English summer day without a glass of Pimms and Lemonade in ​the hand. This light, (yet alcoholic) drink is synonymous with many summer events in Britain and you will find it at all festivals, weddings, sporting events especially the tennis at Wimbledon, at the tennis tournament, an average of 235,000 glass are served (2015 figures).

What is it about Pimms that makes it so popular here in the UK? Check out why on the history and story of Pimms page here on the Spruce. The popularity must also be because Pimms is an excellent drink and the simplest thing to make, ever! Just take a look at the recipe below and you will see what I mean.

What You'll Need

• Pimm's No. 1
• Chilled fizzy Lemonade
• Ice to fill the jug
• Cucumber
• Mint leaves
• Orange slices
• Strawberries, washed, hulled and halved

How to Make It

Take a pretty glass jug or drinking glass if you are making just one Pimms, and fill with ice.

Mix one part Pimm's No. 1 with 3 parts chilled lemonade to fill either your jug or glass.

Now begins the creative part. Lightly crush the mint in your hand to release the scent, and add to the Pimms with the cucumber, orange and strawberry pieces in whatever proportions you like the best. The rule of thumb is 2 slices of cucumber to one of orange and strawberry, but you should make it how you want and the taste you prefer.

Stir with a long-handled spoon and serve.

I suggest you prepare more than one serving or one jug, there are always calls for more, especially if the sun is shining.

Note: a truly traditional English Pimms does not contain any additional alcohol of any kind, the method for adding spirits like Vodka is an American version.

The Pimm’s Royale Recipe

Spring in a glass, but more decadent

If there’s one thing we can all appreciate, it’s a sure bet. As spring starts to bloom, I’m reminded that soon socializing won’t need to be relegated to cozy candlelit bars. With the prospect of barbecues and large backyard parties, drinking naturally leans toward being as uncomplicated and refreshing as possible—which is the main reason to consider a time-tested Brit favorite, the Pimm’s fruit cup.

While many have heard of Pimm’s, and likely had a cup or two during brunch, many are still unaware of just what it is. Pimm’s, invented in 1840 by a London oyster bar owner, originally served as a healthful digestive aid with its mixture of quinine (as found in tonic), herbs and citrus—with gin as the base. Other versions (No. 2 through 6) of Pimm’s were based in brandy, whiskey, or vodka, but the No. 1 recipe is what has stuck through the years. Though this dark colored spirit is somewhat mysterious on first glance, it’s low alcohol percentage (25%) makes it an easy choice for creating quick pitchers full of crowd-pleasing refreshment, best served with a variety of fruits and ginger ale in the glass.

By virtue of its British origin, Pimm’s could already be considered rather fancy, but we’ll go one step farther in this cocktail by adding Champagne, hence the name “Royale”. Get out the croquet set, assuming you don’t have your own Polo field, and take comfort in the fact that good drinking is often best accomplished through the people you can enjoy it with, no matter how simple the drink.

The Pimm’s Royale Recipe

• Prep Time: 5 minutes
• Level of Difficulty: Easy
• Serving Size: 1 cocktail

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 ounces Pimm's No. 1
• 3 ounces Brut Champagne or Cava
• cucumber, sliced
• Orange, sliced
• strawberry, quartered
• mint garnish

Directions

1. Combine Pimm's, fruits, and cucumber into a glass. Muddle gently, if desired.
2. Add ice and top with Champagne.
