3 oz Green Apple Honey syrup or Apple Cider
1oz Jalapeno Syrup
1oz lime juice
Dash cinnamon

Green Apple Spritzer
Ingredients:
3 green apples such as Granny Smith apples
4 tablespoon honey
2 cups water
Sparkling water or club soda
Instructions:
Pour 1-2oz of the green apple syrup into the bottom of your glasses. Top with sparkling water, add ice.
Green Apple Syrup
De-core the green apples and dice into small pieces.
Add the apples, still water and honey to a large pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a light simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Press against the apples once they have softened to release more of the juices. Set aside to cool.
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl of jug.
