Pimm’s No. 1 Cup is one of the great icons of British drinking culture — first created by James Pimm in London in 1823 as a digestive tonic. Today, it’s the drink of the English summer, synonymous with Wimbledon, garden parties and relaxed afternoons in the sun. Built on a gin base and infused with herbs, spices and citrus, it’s uniquely complex yet incredibly easy to enjoy — especially when served the traditional way with fresh fruit, mint and cucumber.

What makes this drink stand out

This is all about versatility and refreshment. Orange peel, warm spice and gentle herbal notes sit over a gin backbone, creating a flavour profile that is both layered and approachable. The defining feature is how it transforms when served — the addition of fruit, mint and cucumber turns it into a fresh, evolving drink that gets better as you sip.

Food Pairing

A light, fruit‑and‑herb‑driven aperitif‑style drink like this enjoys being paired with fresh, grilled seafood. We love it with Raw Prawns from My Meat Man — garlic‑herb‑buttered, served, the wine’s orange‑peel, gentle‑spice and herbal lift balancing the prawns’ richness while the fizzy, lemonade‑driven serve keeps the pairing crisp and celebratory. A serving that does justice to both.
