If you are up for a novelty drink this summer, let me introduce you to Pimm’s, the “other” national drink of England which I’ve been enjoying during my recent stay in London. It brings back lovely memories of my life here, sitting along the Thames, sipping Pimm’s and being carelessly young and happy! Put aside any soccer rivalry and reach across the pond for a bottle of Pimm’s. You won’t regret it. Come and cook with us!
Pimm’s is a gin-based drink made from dry gin, liqueur, fruit juices and spices. If rumor has it right, the actual recipe is known to only six people! Oh the lure of secrecy… Pimm’s dates back to the 18th century to a certain James Pimm who served it at his oyster bar to aid digestion. He had a few different concoctions, but it is the Cup #1 that made him famous. In fact, Mr Pimm’s contribution to the world of libations will be remembered forever.
The potation is usually mixed with refreshing soda and even gives you a serving of fruit and vegetables. Yes, you heard me right… Read on to read more and lear what the fuzz is all about. Here’s to some Pimm’s in your life this summer. As you can see from the picture, Pimm’s can also be had in San Francisco! Come and cook with us!
