Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large crisp green apples, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 cup grape juice (natural)
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups chilled club soda
  • 10 fresh mint leaves, torn

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons plant-based sweetener (natural), to taste
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent dissolved in warm water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash the green apples thoroughly and cut them into thin slices or small chunks based on your preference. Extract fresh lemon juice using a hand juicer or squeeze by hand to ensure maximum freshness.
  2. Make the Base Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the green apple slices with grape juice (natural) and fresh lemon juice (natural). Gently muddle the apple slices to release their flavors but avoid pulverizing them.
  3. Add Sweetener and Optional Texture: Stir in a small amount of plant-based sweetener (natural) to taste if desired. For a playful surprise, dissolve the natural gelling agent in warm water following package instructions, then fold it gently into the mixture to create a subtle jelly effect.
  4. Chill and Mix: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully. Just before serving, add plenty of ice cubes and top off with chilled club soda for a sparkling sensation.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Stir in torn mint leaves for aroma and garnish each glass with a slice of green apple and a fresh mint sprig. Serve immediately to enjoy the full freshness of the mocktail.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp apples for the best flavor.
  • Chill all ingredients beforehand to maintain refreshing quality without quick dilution.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually by adding sweetener little by little.
  • Serve immediately after mixing to preserve effervescence and fresh aroma from mint.
  • Experiment with the natural gelling agent for interesting texture variations.
