The Pimm’s Cup started as a health drink in 1840s London. The slow-sipping summer cocktail is the preferred vehicle for its eponymous liqueur, a gin-based digestif that spread across the globe and found a loyal fan base in New Orleans. Combined with Sprite/7Up (or ginger ale), cucumber and a medley of fruit garnishes, the drink proved to be a welcome relief from the Southern heat. The Pimm’s Cup is also the favorite cooler at Wimbledon, where it’s still enjoyed by the pitcher.
