1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
3 scoops lime sorbet or sherbet
24 ounces seltzer
3/4 cup fresh whipped cream
Zest of 1 lime
Lime-Mint Simple Syrup:
1 cup sugar
Zest and juice of 1 lime
10 large fresh mint leaves
Directions
- Put a splash of the Lime-Mint Simple Syrup in one saucer and the crushed graham crackers in a second saucer. Dip each highball glass first into the syrup and then into the graham crackers. Add a scoop of the lime sorbet to each glass.

Lime-Mint Simple Syrup:
- Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a small pot and cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, a few minutes. Stir in the lime zest and juice and remove from the heat. Add the mint leaves and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain to remove the mint leaves and refrigerate until ready to use. Keep any remaining syrup covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
