I also love this apple mocktail recipe because it is a non alcoholic mocktail. It is also kids friendly and can be enjoyed by everyone in the family.

To make this green apple mocktail with sprite, I have uses granny Smith apples, sprite soda, and lime juice. Optionally you may add some sugar or a simple syrup for sweetness. I prefer my mocktail tart. Also you can add some mint leaves and icecubes, if you prefer your green apple drink cold.

GREEN APPLE MOCKTAIL INGREDIENTS

• Apples: I have used granny Smith apples for my mocktail and also for garnishing my drink.
• Lime juice: adds the zesty and tangy flavour to your mocktail.
• Soda: I have used sprite soda my my mocktail. You can opt to use sparking water or any lime- lemon soda.
• Mint leaves (optional): for garnishing
• Icecubes (optional)

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

• Prepare your fruits: I will start by washing my apples and lime under clear running water.
• Dice the apples: Slice your green apples into small chunks. Remove the core and the seeds.
• Cut the limes into two halves. Squeeze the lime juice out into a small bowl. You may opt to use ready made lime juice from the store.
• Blend: Place the apple chunks and the lime juice into the blender. Blend until smooth.
• Serve: In a clean glass put some ice cubes. Put a fine mesh over the the glass. Pour your blended mixture into the glass through the fine mesh. Fill half way. Add the sprite and stir to combine.
• Garnish: Your green apple mocktail with sprite is ready. Garnish with a slice of granny Smith apple and mint leaves for a fresh touch. Enjoy!

TIPS

1. Apple Selection: Choose crisp, tart green apples like Granny Smith for a more distinct flavor.
2. Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey, simple syrup, or sugar according to personal preference.
3. Texture: If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture to remove any pulp or fiber.
4. Chilling: Chill the glasses beforehand or use plenty of ice for a cooler, more refreshing drink.
5. Garnish: Experiment with garnishes like apple slices, mint leaves, or a dash of cinnamon for added aroma.

MOCKTAIL VARIATIONS

1. Spiced Green Apple: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of ginger for a spicy kick.
2. Herbal Twist: Infuse the mocktail with basil or thyme for an herby undertone.
3. Fizzy Twist: Instead of club soda, try using ginger ale or a flavored sparkling water for a different taste profile.
4. Coconut Infusion: Mix in a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

1. Mocktail Bar: Set up a DIY mocktail station with various fruit purees, garnishes, and sodas for guests to create their own customized mocktails.
2. Pairing: Serve the green apple mocktail with light snacks like cheese and crackers, fresh fruit, or even a light salad.
3. Brunch Companion: It’s a perfect non-alcoholic option for brunches or gatherings with its refreshing taste.
4. Seasonal Themes: Coordinate the mocktail with seasonal fruits or spices for a festive touch.

STORAGE

Once prepared, a green apple mocktail is best enjoyed immediately for the freshest taste and optimal fizziness from carbonated components like soda. However, if you need to store it:

• Short-term storage: You can keep the prepared green apple mocktail in the refrigerator for a few hours (up to 4-6 hours) in a sealed container or pitcher. The carbonation might lessen over time, but it will still be drinkable.
• Longer storage: It’s not advisable to store a mixed green apple mocktail for an extended period as the carbonation will gradually dissipate, and the flavors might alter. The drink might also lose its freshness.
