For the Base

1 cup Apricot Purée Provides rich, juicy stone fruit flavor; substitute with apricot juice for a quicker option.

For the Fizz

For Serving

Ice Used for serving; ensure it's fresh.
Garnish (lemon wheel and apricot slice) Enhances presentation with fresh mint for additional flair.

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.
