FRIDAY COCKTAIL - WIMBLEDON'S PIMMS NO. 1!



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!
