Add the maple syrup to your shaker. Clap the mint together and add to your shaker. Pour in the apple/cucumber juice and lemon juice, then add ice and replace the lid. Shake well. Strain into a glass over ice and top with your choice of mixer. Stir, garnish and enjoy!
Green apple & cucumber juice: blend 1/2 diced apple and 1 inch cucumber with 2 tablespoons water, then strain. Add more water if you need to, to help facilitate blending. Or use a juicer, much easier.
