Pimm's No.1 Cup is the quintessential taste of the British summertime. No drinks cabinet should be without it. As soon as the sun peaks from behind the clouds or the tennis at Wimbledon begins, you'll find us filling jugs with Pimm's, fresh mint, citrus, strawberries, cucumber and high-quality lemonade. We also love it with ginger ale in the autumn months, Champagne when we're feeling fancy. Made to a secret recipe that includes a gin base, herbal botanicals, caramelised orange and plethora of spices, Pimm's No.1 Cup remains the favourite of the seven cups. It was originally blended in the 1840s by James Pimm - the son of a farmer from Kent - to aid the digestion of oysters, but we much prefer it with a picnic. *No.2 was based on Scotch, No.3 was based on brandy, No.4 was based on dark rum, No.5 was based on Rye whisky for the Canadian market, No.6 is based on vodka and still exists, and No.7 was based on Tequila for the American market.£20.36 per 750.00ml
