Time 30m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 ounces Lime-Mint Simple Syrup, recipe follows
1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
3 scoops lime sorbet or sherbet
24 ounces seltzer
3/4 cup fresh whipped cream
Zest of 1 lime
1 cup sugar
Zest and juice of 1 lime
10 large fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Put a splash of the Lime-Mint Simple Syrup in one saucer and the crushed graham crackers in a second saucer. Dip each highball glass first into the syrup and then into the graham crackers. Add a scoop of the lime sorbet to each glass.
  • Add the remaining Lime-Mint Simple Syrup to a pitcher with the seltzer. Slowly fill each glass with the seltzer mixture to within 1 inch from the top. Top each with 1/4 cup of the whipped cream and some lime zest. Serve with a straw.
  • Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot and cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, a few minutes. Stir in the lime zest and juice and remove from the heat. Add the mint leaves and let steep for 10 minutes.
  • Strain to remove the mint leaves and refrigerate until ready to use. Keep any remaining syrup covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
