The story of Pimm's Cup begins in London in the mid-19th century. In the 1840s, a restaurant owner named James Pimm wanted to offer his customers an aromatic drink that facilitated digestion. For this purpose, he prepared a special mixture of herbs, spices and liqueurs. Since this drink was served in small metal cups, it became known as "Pimm's Cup".

This drink quickly became very popular in London and was recognized as a refreshing cocktail especially preferred during the summer months. Its preparation with fruits and lemonade gave the drink both an aromatic and refreshing character. It has become a tradition to serve Pimm's Cups, especially at British garden parties and outdoor events.

โ€œThe most beautiful moments of life are hidden when we realize simple joys.โ€

Today, Pimm's Cup is a drink particularly associated with the Wimbledon tennis tournament. Every year, thousands of people traditionally drink Pimm's Cup while watching this tournament. This cocktail, which has become one of the symbols of British summer culture, remains popular today with its light and refreshing taste.
