Pimm's No. 1 is the classic British gin-based liqueur, bottled at 25% ABV (50 proof). The brand was established in 1840.
Its rich amber hue comes from infusing gin with herbal botanicals, caramelised orange and delicate spices.
It is the drink of the English summer, synonymous with garden parties, tennis and picnics, and perfect for sharing.
In the glass it is fruity and herbal, with bittersweet orange, warm spice and a gentle gin backbone.
It pairs wonderfully with warm, balmy evenings, and a bottle is a cheerful summer gift for anyone who loves a garden party.

How to Enjoy It
For the classic Pimm's Cup, fill a tall glass or a jug with ice, add one part Pimm's No. 1 to three parts lemonade or ginger ale, and garnish generously with sliced cucumber, strawberries, orange and fresh mint. For a sparkling Pimm's Royale, top a measure with Champagne or sparkling wine. It is the perfect jug drink for barbecues, picnics, garden parties and tennis on television. Pair it with sandwiches, scones, strawberries and cream, and summer salads. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves, or batch a pitcher of the signature drink ahead of time. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
