Fruit cup (cocktail)

The base gin is flavoured with various herbs, spices, fruits, and botanicals as well as its strength reduced.

Fruit cups are typically marketed for the summer months, served with fruit as a cocktail garnish to the drink and to improve the flavour; recommendations include apple, orange, strawberry, lemon, lime, cucumber, mint, and borage leaves.

Pimm's numbers 2–6 were based on Scotch whisky, brandy, rum, rye whiskey, and vodka, respectively.

[citation needed] It is the result of the base of Plymouth Gin being mixed with fruit liqueurs, vermouths, aromatic bitters and citrus extracts.

Other varieties of fruit cup include Ableforth's summer fruit cup, Players, Jeeves from Lidl, Austin's from Aldi, Pitchers, Chase, Heston from Waitrose, Fortnum & Mason's summer cup (made by The London Distillery Company), Sipsmith and Tappers' hydropathic pudding.
