Preparation

Step 1

Cut 10 of the limes in half and juice them. You should have about 1 cup juice. Reserve 6 squeezed limes halves and discard the rest. In a large glass jar or pitcher, stir together the lime juice, apple juice, and the reserved lime halves. Cover and refrigerate of at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours to blend the flavors.

When ready to serve, cut the remaining 2 limes into 6 slices each. Fill a large serving pitcher half full with ice and add the sparkling water, lime slices and apple slices. Strain the apple juice mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the pitcher and stir. Pour into tall chilled glasses over ice and serve at once.
