The rich amber hue of Pimm's No. 1 comes from infusing lots of lovely gin with herbal botanicals, caramelized orange and delicate spices. We could go on about the layers of flavors, but it's probably best if you start drinking it while internetting.This old-style liqueur from England is made from a base of London Dry Gin instead of a neutral grain spirit, which ramps up aromatics, and bottled at 50 proof. It was created in 1823 by oyster bar owner James Pimm, and contains a secret infusion of herbs and spices that gives it a slightly spicy and citrusy flavor. It’s very versatile, and can be served over ice or in cocktails like the Pimm’s Cup, where it’s mixed with lemonade or lemon lime soda and garnished with apples, cucumber, orange, lemon, strawberry and mint.
