The Pimm's Cup and Beyond: 3 Cocktails to Make with Pimm's No. 1

Memorial Day’s in the rearview mirror, which means it’s time to fire up the grill, don your summer whites—and break out the Pimm’s No. 1. This herbal, spice-infused liqueur is huge in the UK, where the fruit-topped Pimm’s Cup is a classic English summertime-afternoon, playing-croquet-on-the-lawn sort of drink.

James Pimm invented the original Pimm’s (and gave it the highly original name of Pimm’s No. 1) in London in the 1840s, combining gin with a distinctive blend of herbs, fruits and more. In further years, he followed it up with Scotch-based Pimm’s No. 2, brandy-based Pimm’s No. 3 and so on. Today, most of the others have been discontinued and it’s just the No. 1 you’re likely to see.

It’s low-proof enough (25 percent ABV) to make for a great all-day sipper, particularly mixed with lemonade or ginger ale, à la the classic Pimm’s Cup. But our fascinating friend Pimm’s can be plenty versatile, too. Here are three ways to serve it this summer.

Easy: Classic Pimm’s Cup

If you go to the local pub in Wherever-Shire and order a Pimm’s Cup, most likely you’ll just get Pimm’s with lemonade or perhaps ginger ale. We prefer the latter, for its bit of ginger kick, making for a simple, straightforward way to appreciate the spicy, herbal flavors of Pimm’s. It’s dead-easy to make at home—and just as easy to make by the pitcher.

Instructions: In a glass with ice, mix 2 ounces of Pimm’s and 4 ounces of ginger ale. Garnish with a cucumber slice.

Intermediate: Whiskey Rebellion

When most people think of Pimm’s, they think of that single cocktail. But we find that all of its interesting herbal and spicy notes make Pimm’s an excellent addition to other drinks. Here, the spice of good rye makes a perfect match, with lemon and a touch of sugar to brighten it up. Consider this your ideal summer evening cocktail after a day’s worth of Pimm’s Cups.

Instructions: To a cocktail shaker with ice, add 1 ounce of Pimm’s, 1 ounce of rye (we like High West Rendezvous rye), ¾ ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice and ¾ ounce of simple syrup (equal parts sugar dissolved in hot water). Shake it all up, strain over fresh ice and garnish with a lemon wedge).

Advanced: The Ultimate Pimm’s Cup

We already taught you the basics of the Pimm’s Cup. But there’s a lot of room for improvement. It’s a cocktail that’s tons of fun to garnish—you’ll often see them with strawberries or cucumbers on top—but we think it’s even better with all of those ingredients muddled right in, along with some lemon to brighten it up. Instead of ginger ale, use the sharper ginger beer and fresh muddled ginger. With a little pop of gin, and a fruit-basket garnish on top, it’s a serious crowd-pleaser.

Instructions: In a cocktail shaker, muddle—that is, smash up—a slice of ginger (about the size of one finger knuckle, ¼ inch thick), 1 cucumber slice and half a strawberry. Add 3 mint leaves, 1 ounce of Pimm’s, 1 ounce of gin (we’re using London’s classic Beefeater), ¼ ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and ¼ ounce of simple syrup (equal parts sugar dissolved in hot water). Shake that all up, and fine-strain (pour through your cocktail strainer, then through a fine mesh strainer) into a glass with fresh ice. Top with 2 ounces of ginger beer. Garnish with another cucumber slice, half a strawberry and a lemon wheel.

Pimm's No. 1

Pimm's No. 1 is a gin-based liquor made in England from dry gin, liqueur, fruit juices and spices. It was created in 1859 by the English oyster bar owner James Pimm. The recipe is still a secret, and only six persons know exactly how it is made.

Pimm's No. 1 have a dark, golden-brown color, a medium body and a taste of citrus fruits and spice. It is either served on the rocks or used in cocktails.

Pimm's 1.5L Plastic Jugs x 2

No British household cupboard is complete without a PIMM'S Jug. Essential for the perfect PIMM'S O'Clock! They’re ideal…

Welcome to our Pimm's World

In the ‘60s, while some chaps were messing with moon landings and the like, PIMM’S was working on cups No.5 and No.6.

There have been 6 PIMM’S recipes: gin, scotch, brandy, rum, rye, vodka. Around the world, enterprising individuals continue to work on their own No. 7.

In 1870, future London Mayor Horatio Davies took PIMM’S company and its 5 restaurants to new heights. Naturally, he was knighted.

Pimm made his No.1 Cup in the 1840’s after realising customers stayed longer when they sipped, rather than slugged, their gin.

Wily marketer Jim Moran staged a ‘heated debate’ in a Manhattan nightclub over the correct PIMM’S garnish. His rowdy actresses made the front page.

The London borough of Pimlico is not named after James Pimm, but is a lovely location for a picnic.

From the shores of Sri Lanka to the officer's mess in Khartoum, by 1914 PIMM’s was already a pillar of the Empire.

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!
