General and culture-historical meaning

Under the designation "“Pimm's"” is sold in particular in Great Britain a whose main additives are Gin, Chinin (as for instance in Schweppes) and a kept secret spice mixture. Pimm's (under this designation both the mentioned and a mixing beverage made of it are understood) is far common in the British everyday culture.

The exact composition of the typical spice mixture is as mentioned unknown. Secured it is so far only that the owes its easily bitter taste above all to the so-called Pimms root, which forms a substantial component of the spice mixture. This root (radix pimmensis), which in the botanischen literature surprisingly only little attention found, reminds in their form to the root of the ginger bush. Contrary to this it is common however geographically only few; so far she was found exclusive on the Andamanen islands. The Andamanen islands served the Commonwealth since 1858 as prison island for big criminals. The Pimms root was brought by a custodian on one the southern Andamaneninseln after its retirement to London. The custodian, after whose name (James) Pimm the root and also the are designated, had developed the beverage in the hot climate of the Andamanen islands for refreshment. The opinion, according to which Pimm's is designated after the Netherlands politician Pim Fortuyn (1948-2002), is already wrong, because Pimm's admits for a long time before Fortuyns birth was.

Queen Viktoria (1837-1901) is to have contributed through by her preference to Pimm's substantially to the spreading and popularity of the at their Hofe as well as in completely England. In contrast to this are both OSCAR savage (1854-1900) and Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) an expressed dislike against the beverage to have expressed. Literature experts interpreted but always suffered the dislike of this new generation of writers than expression of the refusal than of the felt viktorianischen age later, this view from an internal contradiction, because the not insignificant consumption of alcohol of the English yard of this time was certainly a quite atypical feature of the Viktorianik. One assumes today predominantly both savage (with Cognac) and Hemingway (with whisky Sour) maintained personal preferences and neglected the benefit of Pimm's exclusively for this reason.

Market tendency

Pimm's was predominantly brought to horse running still a few years ago with the world-famous Royal Ascot in connection. In the year 2003 Pimm's made itself a name as a sponsor of the Perth internationally engine haven management (PIMM) also successfully in the engine haven and mastered thus the crossing in the new Millennium. So far neither the press still another national place pointed out surprisingly that Motorsport Sponsoring can work by a liquor manufacturer at first sight befremdlich. From the further strategy of the Pimm's little is well-known.

According to statements of the management the target group of the US-American Hiphop Musikszene is to be opened by a beverage under the name Pimm p. That presupposes however that will maintain the production of Pimm's can: Due to the Tsunami from December 2004 the production of Pimms roots is acutely endangered. So far did not succeed cultivating the root outside of their origin area so that the world-wide production of Pimm's in the middle of might come 2006 to succumbing.
