1
Prepare the Cane Sugar Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of cane sugar with 2 cups of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has fully dissolved. Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat and let it cool.
2
Add Fresh Mint and Lemon Juice
Once the syrup has cooled, stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and the fresh mint leaves. Allow the mixture to steep for about 15 minutes for the mint flavor to infuse.

3
Combine the Ingredients
In a large pitcher, strain the mint-infused syrup to remove the mint leaves. Add 4 cups of sparkling water to the pitcher, mixing gently to combine.
4
Add Lime Wedges
Squeeze the juice from 2 lime wedges into the mixture, and then drop the wedges into the pitcher for added flavor.

5
Prepare to Serve
Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the canebrake mixture over the ice.
6
Garnish
Garnish each glass with a mint sprig and a lime slice before serving. Enjoy your refreshing Canebrake!
