Spirits Pimms | Pimms No1

Nothing Beats A Glass Of Pimms On A Summers Day. The British Beverage Is Almost As Much A Tradition As The Cup Of Tea And The British Down The Gin-Based Drink By The Gallon During The Summer Months. History Of Pimms Rewind Back To A London Oyster Bar In The 1840S Where Owner James Pimm Invented The Thirst-Quencher. Using Gin Quinine And A Secret Mixture Of Herbs Good Old Pimm Served Up The Brew As An Aid To Digestion Dishing It Out In A Small Tankard And The No. 1 Cup Moniker Was Born. After The Second World War Pimms Extended Their Range Using A Number Of Other Spirits As Bases For New Cups. Scotch Lent Its Name To No. 2 Cup While No. 3 Used Brandy No. 4 Rum No. 5 Rye And No. 6 Vodka. Of These Sequels The Vodka Cup And Brandy (Now Called Winter)Are The Only Ones In Production While Original No. 1 Cup Still Reigns Supreme In Popularity.
