About Pimm's

Pimm's No. 1 Cup is a gin-based liqueur created by a London oyster bar owner in 1823 and served in a fruit cup with lemonade. It is inseparable from Wimbledon and the English summer social season. Diageo owns it, and its sales are so concentrated in summer that production is planned around a few weeks of demand.
