August: Garden Walk

The Garden Walk is a crisp, refreshing cocktail that combines bright apple juice, floral elderflower, and zesty lime with a cool mint finish. Makes for perfect sipping on a sunny afternoon

Ingredients:

• 50ml preferred vodka

• 50ml apple juice

• 15ml elderflower liqueur

• 15ml lime juice

• Soda water (to top)

• Fresh mint

• Ice

Instructions:

1. Muddle the mint – In a shaker, gently muddle a few fresh mint leaves to release their flavor.

2. Add ingredients – Pour in the vodka, apple juice, elderflower liqueur, and lime juice.

3. Shake – Add ice to the shaker and shake until well chilled.

4. Strain & pour – Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.

5. Top it off – Add a splash of soda water to finish.

6. Garnish – Garnish with a fresh mint sprig or a thin apple slice for a crisp, garden-inspired look.

Tips:

• Use fresh lime juice – Bottled just doesn’t hit the same; fresh adds that bright, zesty kick.

• Chill your glass – Pop your serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes for an extra-refreshing experience.

• Batch it – This cocktail is great for brunch or garden parties—just multiply the ingredients and top with soda water just before serving
