Start by preparing the fruits. Hull the strawberries and slice them into halves. Cut the cucumber into thin ribbons using a vegetable peeler. Slice the orange into thin wheels or half-wheels.
Select a large pitcher (about 2 liters) and fill it with the ice cubes.
Pour 500 ml of Pimm's No. 1 over the ice, followed by 1000 ml of sparkling lemonade.
Add the sliced strawberries, cucumber ribbons, orange slices, and about 15 mint leaves to the pitcher.
Using a long spoon, gently stir the contents of the pitcher to mix the flavors, ensuring the mint and fruits are evenly distributed.
Garnish the top of the pitcher with the remaining mint leaves for presentation.
Serve immediately in chilled glasses, ensuring each serving includes a mix of the fruit and cucumber for the full Wimbledon experience.
