Pimm's No. 3 Cup [1930s–1970; 2004–present] is based on brandy; it was phased out in 1970, and relaunched in 2004, now infused with spices and orange peel and called Pimm's Winter Cup.

The discontinued No. 6 Vodka Cup variety was reinstated in 2015 [8] following a successful campaign led by a group of enthusiastic Vodka Cup Pimm's drinkers.
