- 1 Lime
- 1 oz Simple syrup
- 2 oz White rum
- 2 oz Apple cider

- 1 cup Ice cubes

Instructions
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the mint leaves and simple syrup.
Muddle the mint gently to release its aromas, being careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Cut the Granny Smith apple into thin slices and set aside a slice for garnish if desired. Dice the remaining half-apple into small cubes.
Add the diced apple pieces to the muddled mint and lightly muddle them to release some of the apple juice.
Juice the lime into the mixture, discarding the rind.
Add the white rum and apple cider to the glass or shaker and stir everything together to combine.
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes and pour the mojito mixture into the glass, leaving room for club soda.
Top off with club soda and gently stir to combine layers.
Garnish with the reserved apple slice and a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your crisp, fruity Big Apple Mojito!
