Pimm’s has a unique flavor that is difficult to describe. It has a sweet, fruity taste that is balanced by the bitterness of the quinine. Pimm's can also be mixed with champagne (or other sparkling white wines), resulting in a drink known as a "Pimm's Royal Cup". Pimm's Winter Cup is generally mixed with warm apple juice. A "Glasgow Garden Party" is a drink made with Pimm's substituting lemonade with Irn Bru excluding any fruit garnish. A "Pimmlet" is a Gimlet with Pimm's No.1 substituted for gin. A Pimm's mojito substitutes lemon and lime soda with muddled limes and soda water. [5] History [ edit ]

In Europe, Pimm’s is a popular drink in the United Kingdom, where it is often enjoyed at outdoor events, such as the Wimbledon tennis tournament and the Henley Royal Regatta.

A light and refreshing G&T, this RTD is perfectly mixed with pink berries, dry gin and slimline tonic to create an elegant and smooth taste which is easy on the waistline. When combined with smoky base spirits, the fruit-forward characteristics of Pimm’s provide a very nice contrast,” says Jon Baxter, a bartender and server at The Copper Grouse in Manchester, Vermont. He admits that it can be a tough sell since it’s so entrenched in the culture of the Pimm’s Cup, but shaking it with mezcal, lemon juice and demerara sugar results in a surprising twist on the Sour. He also uses the liqueur in a drink he has dubbed the Really, Really Very British Gin & Tonic, where it’s mixed with Tanqueray gin, lime juice and an Earl Grey-tea-infused syrup. “The best attribute of Pimm’s is its unique flavor,” he says.
