Mint Limeade

Use 2:1 rich simple syrup for its listed portion.

Select and pre-chill a highball glass.

Prepare a garnish of mint sprigs.

Lightly muddle the mint leaves in the base of a shaker, just to bruise them.

Add the freshly squeezed lime juice, cloudy apple juice or cider, and rich sugar syrup to the shaker, then shake with ice.

Fine strain the mixture into the pre-chilled highball glass filled with fresh ice.

Top up the drink with lemon-lime soda and give it a brief stir.

Serve the cocktail with a straw and garnish with a bouquet of mint sprigs.
