Judy Murray named 'chief foliage officer' by Pimm's following Twitter rant
The mother of former Wimbledon champ Andy Murray has been appointed by the drinks brand to ensure bar staff know how to create the perfect tennis tipple.
Last year, a tweet venting her dismay at being served a Pimm’s with “a foliage overdose” went viral, revealing excessive amounts of mint protruding from the top of her glass.
Recognising Judy as a stickler for standards, Pimm’s bosses offered the former Scottish national tennis coach a job on their team in a newly-created role of chief foliage officer.
Judy Murray said: “My recipe for a perfect summer’s afternoon is a delicious glass of Pimm’s – and some great tennis.
“Jamie and Andy can take care of the tennis bit – I’ll be focusing on making sure we get the right amount of mint in our Pimm’s.”
Judy has recorded a training video for bartenders to be distributed across the UK in a bid to avoid any more foliage blunders.
Elly Martin, Pimm’s brand manager, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Judy to the team as our newly-appointed Pimm’s chief foliage officer. Mint management is key to a great glass of Pimm’s and we know Judy is a perfectionist and doesn’t settle for second best.”
