Not identical to Pimm’s but actually better, in my opinion. More layers of flavour, well balanced and bitter with a yummy, yeasty note like baking bread. For half the price, lower alcohol (not that you’d know) and another 250ml to boot, this Austin’s is properly awesome. Well done, Aldi!The Langham, London is part of Langham Hotels & Resorts, with over 20 distinctive hotels and more than 30 projects in development from Asia, Europe and North America to the Middle East.

Introduced in 2006, produced by the same makers of Stone's Ginger wine it is based on a traditional recipe and retains a traditional ginger note. It is available in 70cL bottles with a strength of 13.5% ABV.Since alcohol was considered 19th-century medicine, Pimm’s marketed his drink as a health tonic – much like how Dr Pemberton took a concoction from Jacob’s Pharmacy and mixed it with carbonated water and sold Coca-Cola as a “brain tonic.” Pimm’s health tonic was a hit and he started bottling and selling it. It spread all over the British empire to India, Canada, Australia, and the Caribbean. A quintessentially summery drink which brings together the rich fruit flavours of Plymouth Fruit Cup with the spicy elements of ginger and is topped off perfectly with refreshing notes of citrus, cucumber and mint as well as the sweeter notes of the summer fruits. This status was awarded after a London distiller began producing a bottling it called ‘Plymouth’ gin. A legal judgement followed in the 1880's which sided with Plymouth-based distilleries who sought to protect the name. However, this protective status will lapse and is not set to be renewed.
