Summer Cup No.1 | Gin Cocktail - Downton Distillery UK

Summer Cup No.1 | Gin Cocktail

We wanted to create something that could be drunk during the summer at events and parties! Great Bustard Autumnal Gin gives the classic summer serve a countryside twist. Fresh apple juice, quince and warming spice bring depth and genuine seasonal character. Top with lemonade, fruit, mint and sliced orange for a refreshing drink that delivers flavour, provenance and a stronger connection to the landscape. 

 

The Origins of Pimms

Created by James Pimm in London in 1840, Pimm’s No.1 Cup began life as a gin based tonic served in his oyster bar near the City of London. Infused with herbs, spices and fruit, it was designed to aid digestion. Over time it evolved into one of Britain’s most recognisable summer drinks, becoming closely linked with garden parties, tennis and the British social season.
