Cut the apricots into wedges. Cut the lemon and the lime into thin slices.

Place the seeds in a small bowl of cold water and let them soak until they swell slightly. Drain them if needed.

Place the fresh mint in the bottom of a large pitcher.

Using a muddler, gently crush the leaves to release their aromas without turning them into a pulp.

Add the apricot wedges along with the lemon and lime slices.

Pour in the honey or cane sugar, then stir gently to coat the fruit.

Stir in the soaked seeds and mix lightly.

Add a large amount of ice cubes to the pitcher.

Pour the ice-cold sparkling water over the mixture.

Mix gently with a long spoon to keep the bubbles.

Divide the mocktail among the glasses.

Garnish with a few fresh mint leaves and a lemon slice and serve immediately.

Chef's tip

For an even more fragrant drink, let the apricots, citrus and mint macerate for 20 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. Add the sparkling water at the last moment to preserve all its bubbles and its refreshing effect.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The texture of the fresh fruit and the sparkling water would be altered.

Storage : How long does it keep?

The base (apricot purée, lemon, mint, sugar) keeps 2 days max in an airtight container in the fridge. Add sparkling water and ice cubes when serving.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

The base can be made the day before (apricot purée, lemon, mint, sugar) and kept refrigerated. Finish with sparkling water and ice cubes just before serving.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable, cold drink.

Variations

Replace the sugar with honey.
Garnish with mint leaves and a lemon slice.
Add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher.

Mistakes to avoid

Turning the mint into a pulp: gently crush it with the muddler.
Stirring too hard after adding the sparkling water: mix gently to keep the bubbles.
Forgetting to soak the chia seeds.

Frequently asked questions
