Pimm’s Winter Cup
Pimm’s Winter Cup is a warm, winterized version of the summer Pimm’s No. 1 cup with apple juice infused with caramel, orange and cinnamon. A delicious winter warming drink, British style.
Pimm’s is one of my favorite drinks because of its flavors, it can be mixed in so many ways. It is a British, gin-based liqueur with flavors of herbs and citrus.
You may have heard of a Pimm’s No.1 cup, which is a popular drink to enjoy in the summer in England. It is a more fruity version than this winter version.
This past summer I made a Pimm’s strawberry mint cocktail and wanted to make a warm and comforting version for the winter. Pimm’s make their own winter blend, but it is not available in the U.S, so I decided to make my own.
This Pimm’s winter cup starts with good apple juice warmed and infused with orange, cinnamon, caramel. This aromatic infusion is then mixed with Pimm’s and served warm for a hot toddy that will warm you inside, when it’s cold outside.

If you used apple cider would you change any of the ingredients? Thinking maybe to leave out the cinnamon.
There really is not much difference between apple juice and apple cider so you can use either and no need to change any of the other ingredients. Enjoy.
There really is not much difference between apple juice and apple cider other than a little extra flavoring in the cider, so you can use either. Enjoy.
Ooo…. I love hot toddies! I SO wish I could have one of these right now! Once baby comes, I will certainly be enjoying one… or two of these 🙂
This would be warm me inside out! I just love your pictures and they speak for the recipe.
Love this brilliant alternative to mulled wine, Janette. Oooh yes, pass me the winter Pimm’s!
This recipe is brilliant! The flavors sound amazing. I bet I could drink several. 🙂
This sounds really Yummy! I love the combination of flavors you’ve used.
This sounds delicious. I’ve always like warm, spiced apple juice, but never tried it with any liqueur. I love the way you photographed this. It is enticing!
What a pretty festive drink! I can imagine how good it tastes just by looking at it.
