  Pimm's - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A close approximation to Pimm's No1 can be prepared by mixing one measure of gin with one measure of red vermouth and half a measure of triple sec, although this will lack the spices that give Pimm's its distinctive flavour.
Pimm's was invented in the 1840s, by James Pimm, a farmer's son from Kent who became the owner of an oyster bar in the City of London.
Pimm offered the tonic (a gin-based drink containing quinine and a secret mixture of herbs) as an aid to digestion, serving it in a small tankard known as a 'No. 1 Cup', hence its subsequent name.

 Pimms No 1 Cup - Pimms drinks, cocktail recipes and history of Pimms
The British beverage is almost as much a tradition as the cup of tea, and the British down the gin-based drink by the gallon during the summer months.
Using gin, quinine and a secret mixture of herbs, good old Pimm served up the brew as an aid to digestion, dishing it out in a small tankard and the No. 1 Cup moniker was born.
If mixing your own Pimms sounds too much like hard work, head to one of the many pubs and bars in London which serve up Pimms with a healthy dose of fruit, ice and garnished with a sprig of mint.
