Summer is almost here and this year it\u2019s more special than ever for us in the UK. It\u2019s our Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee, and Pimm\u2019s have launched a special commemorative bottle with which to toast the occasion.<\/p>\n

The celebratory bottle contains iconic original Pimm\u2019s No.1 Cup. It is perfect for this quintessentially British holiday. It is a gin-based preparation of herbal botanicals, caramelised orange and warm spices. And it dates back to 1840 when it was first blended by James Pimm as an aid to digestion. It was served at Queen Victoria’s lunches and its popularity spread around the Empire.<\/p>\n
Kate Veale, Category Director, PIMM\u2019S GB, comments: \u201cPIMM\u2019S is an iconic British brand that has become synonymous with the great British summer. With The Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee taking place in June, along with Ascot and Wimbledon, we\u2019re looking forward to seeing people celebrating with a glass of PIMM\u2019S at these events, and all summer long.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe limited-edition design is perfect for those looking for something special during the extra-long Jubilee weekend, whether they are hosting at home or having get-togethers within their local community.\u201d<\/p>\n
