Ingredients

2 oranges, cut into half-moons
2 lemons, cut into half-moons
1 Persian cucumber or one 3-in.-long piece English cucumber, washed and sliced
2 cups Pimm's No. 1 
4 cups Sprite or other lemon-lime soda
6 to 8 large sprigs mint, crushed gently, plus a few loose leaves

Fill 2 pitchers 1/4 full with ice. To each, add a layer of orange slices, a few lemon slices, and a layer of cucumber slices. Repeat the layering. 

Pour in the Pimm's and Sprite, dividing between pitchers, and mix with a long-handled spoon. Poke mint sprigs and leaves down into the pitchers.
