Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Jigger or measuring cup
- Muddler
- Cocktail strainer
- Tall glass
- Ice bucket
- Bar spoon
Ingredients
For one Green Apple Spritz Mocktail, gather:
- 2 oz green apple juice
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz simple syrup
- 4-5 fresh mint leaves
- 3-4 oz sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Green apple slices and mint sprigs for garnish
Use crisp, tart green apples for the best flavor. Fresh lime juice adds brightness. Simple syrup balances the tartness. Mint brings a cool, fresh note.
Instructions
- Add mint leaves to the shaker and muddle gently.
- Next, pour in green apple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 10-15 seconds.
- Strain the mixture into a tall glass filled with ice.
- Then, top with sparkling water and stir gently.
- Garnish with apple slices and mint sprigs.
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less simple syrup. For extra fizz, use more sparkling water.
Notes
This mocktail tastes best when served right away. The fizz from the sparkling water will fade over time.
For a stronger apple flavor, use cloudy apple juice instead of clear. You can also try different apple varieties to change the taste.
To make it ahead, mix the juices and syrup in advance. Add ice and sparkling water just before serving.
For a party, set up a DIY mocktail bar. Let guests mix their own drinks with pre-measured ingredients.
