- 6 leaves Fresh Mint Leaves
- 2 cups Crushed Ice
- 1 cup Club Soda
- 1 slice (optional) Orange Slice (for garnish)

In a blender, combine the apricots, fresh orange juice, and honey.
Blend the mixture until smooth and no chunks of apricot remain.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the blender and pulse a few times to gently incorporate without overblending.
Fill two tall glasses halfway with crushed ice.
Pour the apricot and orange mixture over the ice, dividing it evenly between the two glasses.

Garnish each glass with an orange slice and a sprig of mint, if desired.
