Apple Lemon Fizz is a bright, refreshing, and naturally flavorful beverage that perfectly balances sweetness and tanginess. The crisp sweetness of fresh apple juice blends beautifully with the zesty sharpness of lemon, while sparkling water adds a lively fizz that makes every sip light and invigorating.
This drink is ideal for warm summer afternoons, family gatherings, brunches, or as a festive non-alcoholic party drink. It is simple to prepare, requires minimal ingredients, and can easily be customized to suit your taste. Whether you prefer it slightly sweet, extra tangy, or with a hint of mint, Apple Lemon Fizz is a versatile and crowd-pleasing refreshment.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh apple juice (preferably chilled, fresh or good-quality packaged)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about ½ medium lemon)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- ½–1 cup chilled soda water or sparkling water
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- Thin lemon slices
- Fresh mint leaves
- Apple slices
Procedure
To make this super refreshing, lightly sweet, and tangy apple lemon fizz drink, follow the steps below.
- Prepare the base: Take a tall serving glass or any kind of serving cup and add a generous amount of ice cubes. The ice keeps the drink cold and enhances the refreshing effect.
- Add apple juice: Pour 1 cup of chilled apple juice over the ice. Using chilled juice helps maintain the fizz later.
- Add fresh lemon juice: Squeeze fresh lemon juice with a manual lemon squeezer(about 2 tablespoons) directly into the glass. Fresh lemon juice gives the best flavor compared to bottled versions.
- Sweeten the juice: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add 1–2 teaspoons of honey or sugar. Stir well until completely dissolved. This step is optional.
- Add the fizz: Slowly pour chilled soda water or sparkling water into the glass. Pour gently to preserve the bubbles(there’s something about the sight of a bubbly process and the sound it makes)
- Stir lightly just once or twice. Over-stirring can reduce the fizz and we don’t want that.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish beautifully with a slice of lemon, a few mint leaves, or thin apple slices. Serve immediately while bubbly and fresh.
Enjoy!
