Pimm's Cup No. 1

Great Britain

750mLPimms originated in a London oyster bar opened by James Pimm in 1823. Like many of his colleagues and competitors, Pimm served a house cup, a type of punch, to accompany his shellfish. By 1851, Pimms mixture of gin, fruit, herbs and liqueurs was proving so popular that his No. 1 Cup was distributed to clubs around London (a No. 2 Cup was based on scotch, and a No. 3 Cup on brandy)
