Step-by-Step Instructions
- Gather all fresh ingredients: ripe apricots for puréeing, fresh lemons for juice, and your choice of lemonade.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the apricot purée, lemon juice, lemonade, and simple syrup. Mix thoroughly to ensure a harmonious flavor.
- Fill the shaker with ice about two-thirds full, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain the mixture into a highball or Collins glass filled with fresh ice, using a fine mesh strainer for a smooth texture.
- Top off with sparkling water, about 1/2 cup, and gently stir to combine without losing too much fizz.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel and a fresh slice of apricot on the rim; add a sprig of fresh mint if desired.
