TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this apple and ginger spritzer.

  • Use Fresh, Crisp Apples: Opt for sweet varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for a naturally sweeter spritzer.
  • Control The Ginger Intensity: Adjust the amount of ginger depending on how strong you want the spice level to be.
  • Chill Ingredients Beforehand: Keep the apple juice and sparkling water in the fridge for an extra cold drink.
  • Enhance The Fizz: Add the sparkling water just before serving to retain maximum carbonation.
  • Adjust Sweetness Naturally: If desired, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for extra flavour.
  • Make It Citrusy: A squeeze of lemon or lime juice can brighten the overall taste.

VARIATIONS

  • Cinnamon Infusion: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon for a warming, autumnal twist.
  • Berry Blend: Mix in crushed raspberries or blueberries for added antioxidants and flavour.
  • Tropical Touch: Use coconut water instead of sparkling water for a lightly sweet, tropical version.
  • Herbal Refreshment: Stir in fresh basil or thyme for a unique herbal infusion.
  • Frozen Treat: Blend the ingredients with ice to create a slushie-style drink.
  • Ginger Boost: Add a splash of ginger beer for an even spicier, more intense variation.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best consumed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 6 hours.
  • Freezing: Make apple-ginger ice cubes by freezing the juice and ginger mixture for later use.
  • Batch Preparation: Prepare a larger quantity in a pitcher and store it in the fridge, adding sparkling water just before serving.

On-The-Go: Store in a sealed bottle and shake before drinking to redistribute flavours.
