Actually:
Quote:
There are five other Pimm's products besides No.1. The essential difference among them is the base alcohol used to produce them:- Pimm's No. 1 Cup is based on gin. It is 25% alcohol by volume.
- Pimm's No. 2 Cup was based on whisky. Currently phased out.
- Pimm's No. 3 Cup is based on brandy. Phased out, but a version infused with spices and orange peel marketed as Pimm's Winter Cup is now seasonally available.
- Pimm's No. 4 Cup was based on rum. Currently phased out.
- Pimm's No. 5 Cup was based on rye. Currently phased out.
- Pimm's No. 6 Cup is based on vodka. It is still produced, but in small quantities.
Pimm's No. 1 can also be purchased as a pre-mixed fortified lemonade (Pimm's & Lemonade) in 250 mL cans or 1-litre bottles.
