Green Apple Sparkler Recipe

1. 1

   At least 4 hours and up to 3 days before making the drink, bring the sugar and water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.

   Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice.

   Let cool to room temperature, then transfer to a 1-quart container.

   Halve, core, and cut the apple into 1/8-inch-thick slices.

   Cover and refrigerate until the apple flavor infuses the syrup, at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
