Plymouth Fruit Cup Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Made with a mix of spirits, vermouth and liqueurs, the result is an intense and complex fruit cup that is full of rich fruity notes, dry herbaceousness, and a gentle hint of sweet spice. Today, there is a wide range of products beyond Pimm’s on the market, many of which are coming from the newer, smaller distilleries. The Pimm’s cup, or so the story goes, was invented in 1940s New Orleans at Napoleon House in the French Quarter. As is evident, different fruit cups will suit different occasions and tastes, but it is fair to say there’s plenty to explore.

The drink is traditionally made with a combination of cognac or rye whiskey, absinthe, Peychaud’s bitters, and sugar.

A quintessentially summery drink which brings together the rich fruit flavours of Plymouth Fruit Cup with the spicy elements of ginger and is topped off perfectly with refreshing notes of citrus, cucumber and mint as well as the sweeter notes of the summer fruits. It uses gin as a base, to which is added Marionette’s aged orange Curacao; Earl Grey tea completes the recipe. So, whether you like the British version (with lemonade), the American version (usually with Sprite), or some concoction of your own, what’s universally acknowledged is that it’s a refreshingly delicious summer drink.
