For the sugar syrup
– Siúcra Caster Sugar
– 300ml water
– 10 pieces of fresh orange peel

– 100g blueberries

– 100g dried cranberries
– 10 sprigs of mint
– 3 small to medium apples, peeled, halved and carve a monster face on the curved side of the apple

Method:
1. To frost the glass, dip the rim of the glasses into a shallow bowl of water and then into a plate of Siúcra Granulated Sugar. Leave these to set for 10 minutes.
2. To make the sugar syrup, pour the Siúcra Caster Sugar and water into a saucepan and bring to the boil over a high heat, reduce the heat to low and add the orange pieces. Leave to simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes until a light syrup forms. Take off the heat and allow to cool, leaving the orange peel in the syrup.
