This is way out of my wheelhouse, still, I have to admit it's a gorgeous, velvety drink. I may have overdone it a bit with the cocoa powder but I'm not complaining.

It's a very nice drink for May-into-June, as the seasons change, but if it's got the word "apple" in the name, well, it needs to taste more apple-forward.
This is rather appealing, but then again I am a pastry chef and this is basically dessert in a glass. I love it.
Instead of saline, I've used a pinch of salt as an abrasive to help with muddling the leaves.
Too sickly sweet. I may try it again later, but my first move would be to reduce the sugar syrup by half in order to allow more tartness to come through. But by half may be too much, hmm... (6 Oct 2022, 3:19p)
I made this a few days ago, realising only at the end that I'd ran out of 7UP. I decided to use sparkling water instead and the drink was pretty good, certainly not over sweet.
