Inspired by a classic Pimm’s Cup, the clarified and carbonated Pimm’s 6.0 from The Cambridge Public House in Paris elevates everything with the perfect amount of modern elegance
The Pimm’s 6.0 is just like the original Pimm’s Cup, except not at all, as it’s clarified and carbonated. Still, it manages to perfectly sum up The Cambridge Public House, one of our favorite bars in Paris. It’s the perfect drink for a laid back day at the bar, where one is looking for something familiar and elevated that they can enjoy time and again.
The Cambridge Public House Co-Founder Hyacinthe Lescoët tells us…
Name the cocktail: Pimm’s 6.0
What inspired the name? What’s this drink’s origin story?
The cocktail is inspired by a classic Pimm’s Cup, but done in a modern way using carbonation and clarification. The same way Three Sheets did their French 75, it was our big inspiration. We change it once a year with a different gin, wine and apéritif, but the structure stays the same. It started with the 2.0 and now we are on 6.0.
What other drinks belong in its family?
It’s little outside any big cocktail family, because of the way it’s built and served. The Pimm’s 6.0 it’s the little brother of the Pimm’s Cup, which I guess makes it a punch drink.
If you like delicate and floral flavours, you should try this drink.
What food is this cocktail best served with?
The cheese of the moment is a good one to have while drinking a Pimm’s 6.0. I see a Brillat-Savarin, a light goat cheese, served with a fresh fruit puree and toasted bread.
