A type of flavored drink or liqueur, especially Pimm's, which is a gin-based cocktail mixer popular in Britain.
Pimm's was created in 1823 by James Pimm, a bartender in London. The drink became so popular that 'Pimm's' became synonymous with fruit cup cocktails. The word is primarily a brand name that became genericized in some regions.
Pimm's is traditionally served at British summer events like Wimbledon tennis matches, and drinking it has become a cultural marker of English sophistication—the word itself represents how brand names can become part of a nation's identity.
