Pimm's Royale Punch
['Peels of 2 lemons, plus 2 lemons sliced into wheels', '1/4 cup granulated sugar', '1 1/2 cups thinly sliced cucumber wheels', '1/2 grapefruit, sliced into wheels', '1 orange, sliced into wheels', '"16 ounces Pimms No. 1", 4 ounces orange juice', '2 ounces lemon juice', '1 (750-ml) bottle Champagne', 'Large ice block (optional)', '6 strawberries', 'hulled and sliced']
Place the peels in a glass pitcher or bowl with the sugar (save the lemons for juicing). Muddle the peels until the sugar looks slightly moistened, then cover and let sit for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Add the lemon, cucumber, grapefruit, and orange wheels, Pimm's, orange juice, and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. You can make this the night before to cut your workload down on New Year's Eve.
When you are ready to serve, transfer the mixture (including the fruit) to a punch bowl and slowly add the Champagne and the ice. Garnish the bowl with the strawberry slices.
To serve, ladle into punch glasses.
This punch can also be served Sangria-style in a pitcher and poured over ice.
