Apple Mocktail
This apple mocktail is one of my favorite go-to drinks during the fall, but honestly, I make it all year round. It’s made with simple ingredients you probably already have — like apple juice, lemon juice, and soda water. The mix of sweet apple and zesty lemon with some bubbles on top is just the right combo to wake up your taste buds.
Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing glass or small pitcher
- Long spoon or stirrer
- Serving glasses
- Small knife and cutting board

Ingredients
- 1 cup apple juice chilled
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ cup soda water or sparkling water

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Glasses
- Fill each glass halfway with ice cubes.
- Add a few apple slices and mint leaves to each glass if you're using them.
- Set the glasses aside — you’ll want them ready when your drink is mixed and fizzy!
- Pro Tip: Chill your glasses in the fridge for 10–15 minutes beforehand for an extra refreshing touch.
Step 2: Mix the Base
- In a mixing glass or small pitcher, pour in 1 cup of chilled apple juice.
- Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Stir in 1–2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup if you like your drinks a bit sweeter.
- Be patient while stirring. It helps the honey blend smoothly.
Step 3: Add the Bubbles
