The Kentucky Derby has the Mint Julep, the Preakness has the Black Eyed Susan....and Wimbledon has the Pimm's No. 1 Cocktail. It's origins date back to 1832 when London oyster bar owner James Pimm started offering a gin-based beverage with quinine and secret spices dubbed a digestive aid, served in small tankards known as "No. 1 Cups".
It instantly became popular all over the UK and the first Pimm bar opened at Wimbledon in 1971. Today over 80,000 pints of Pimm's No. 1 Cocktails are sold at Wimbledon every year.
2 oz Pimm's No. 1 gin
4 oz English lemonade or lemon lime soda
Garnish: mint sprig, cucumber slice, strawberry and apple slice
LOVE 15, 30 40, DEUCE!
ENJOY!
