We’ve given you countless suggestions on how to use up the vodka and tequila you’ve been holding onto, but what about other, less common bottles you might be storing on your bar cart? In Europe, Pimm’s No. 1 is a beloved gin-based liqueur “made with a proprietary blend of herbs, spice, fruit extracts and quinine,” as per Liquor.com. It dates back to the 1820s, when bar owner and restauranteur James Pimm created it as a health tonic to aid digestion, serving it to people in his London oyster bar.

By 1851, large-scale production of the drink moved forward as No. 2 (scotch) and No. 3 (brandy) were added to the lineup. Things have changed a lot since the company’s early days, but what’s always stayed consistent is their dedication to making great-tasting spirits. Wimbledon fans outside of England might already be familiar with the main Pimm’s recipes, but we’ve got some others to help you beat the heat.
