Created by James Pimm in his 1820`s Oyster Bar!. Pimm began to market it ready-mixed in 1859, such was its popularity!. It was taken as a digestive tonic, due to the high level of quinine and the mash of herbs involved in its production!. Fashionable society began to drink Pimm`s as a cocktail during the later part of the 19th century, partially for the alcoholic lift and partially because it was weak enough to be drunk all afternoon!.
There have been six different `cups` produced over the years!. Now only the No!.1 cup seems to be in wide distribution with No!.6 sometimes seen!. Each cup is based on a different base spirit -
Pimm`s Cup Base Spirit
No!.1 Gin
No!.2 Whiskey
No!.3 Brandy
No!.4 Rum
No!.5 Rye
No!.6 Vodka
Winter Warmer also gin based
The Winter Warmer was released in 2004 to expand Pimm's beyond its seasonal (ie Spring/Summer) base!. Pimms Winter Warmer is a rebranding of the old No!.3 cup and retains brandy as its base!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
