Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (¾ cup) orange juice from 3 medium navel oranges
  • zest of one lemon (optional)
  • zest of one lime (optional)
  • 1 ounce (2 Tablespoons) lemon juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 ounce (2 Tablespoons) lime juice from 1-2 limes
  • 2 ounces (¼ cup) demerara syrup
  • 4 ounces (½ cup) Pimm's liqueur
  • club soda (unflavored, lemon, or lime)
  • ice

Instructions

Method 1 - Make Ahead

  • Stir orange juice, lemon zest, lime zest, lemon juice, lime juice, demerara syrup and Pimm's together in a large glass measuring cup. Cover with plastic and refrigerate at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours. Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve into two glasses filled with ice. Top with club soda and garnish with extra slices lime or lemon.

Method 2 - Make Right Now

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, demerara syrup and Pimm's (omit lemon and lime zest) and shake well. Pour into two glasses filled with ice. Top with club soda and garnish with extra slices lime or lemon.

Method 3 - Large Batch Make Ahead

  • Pour 3 cups orange juice, ½ cup lemon juice, ½ cup lime juice, 1 cup demerara syrup and 2 cups Pimm's to a large pitcher or bottle (recipe makes almost 2 quarts/liters, so choose your container accordingly). Refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. Pour into glasses filled with ice leaving about ¼ of the glass empty. Top with club soda and garnish with extra slices lime or lemon.

Notes

To make demerara syrup:
Add ½ cup water and ½ cup demerara sugar (raw cane sugar) to a small saucepan over medium high heat. Stir while bringing to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Chill before using. Store extra syrup in the refrigerator.
