But you don&#8217;t have to be a tennis fanatic to serve that last one. The Pimm&#8217;s Cup has been a well-known drink in England and the United States since the 1800s.<\/p>\n<p>The star ingredient of a Pimm&#8217;s Cup cocktail is its namesake liqueur: Pimm&#8217;s No. 1, an aromatic and colorful herbal spirit. It&#8217;s blended with lemon and ginger ale to make a mixed drink that&#8217;s not too strong and refreshing on warm, summer days.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Pimm&#8217;s No. 1?<\/h2>\n<p>The exact blend of ingredients in this 200-year-old English liqueur is a closely-guarded secret. It was created by James Pimm, who originally served it at his restaurants to aid in the digestion of oysters.<\/p>\n<p>Pimm&#8217;s No. 1 is a gin-based liqueur with flavors of citrus, juniper and quinine (the bitter ingredient in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/what-is-tonic-water\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/what-is-tonic-water\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tonic water<\/a>) plus strong spices. The reddish-amber color and bitter notes are reminiscent of amari or cocktail bitters, but Pimm&#8217;s also has some sweetness. The alcohol content is 25%, on the low side compared to similar liqueurs.<\/p>\n<p>The Pimm&#8217;s company tried to capitalize on the success of Pimm&#8217;s No. 1 with other liqueurs over several decades, including Pimm&#8217;s No. 2 through Pimm&#8217;s No. 6. They were made with other spirits including vodka, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/brandy-cocktails\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/brandy-cocktails\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">brandy,<\/a> Scotch and rum. Most of these were discontinued, although limited-edition runs (with names like Vodka Cup or No. 3 Winter) make an occasional appearance, much to the delight of Pimm&#8217;s devotees.<\/p>\n<h2>Pimm&#8217;s Cup Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2012171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Pimms-Cup-TOHVS24_276699_MF_05_14_1-e1720078840592.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Pimm's Cup Ingredients\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pimm&#8217;s No. 1 liqueur:<\/strong> This tall bottle has a white label with dark-red liqueur inside.
