If there was ever a drink made for summer, it would be this cider-ita punch, made with refreshing apple cider and topped up with lime juice and mint leaves for a tangy kick. Fancy a bit of spice to bring things up a notch? Add freshly sliced chillies for a drink made to enjoy in the sunshine with friends. See method

Method

  1. In a large jug, mix the lime juice and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Chill if preparing ahead.

  2. Add the cider and soda water to the sweet lime juice, then the mint leaves and apple slices. Divide the ice between 6 glasses; pour in the punch. Garnish with the chilli, if you like a bit of spice.

Cook's tip: For the juiciest limes, blast for 1 min in the microwave before juicing.
