ApfelschorleApfelschorle, made with apple juice and carbonated mineral water, is one of the most popular fruit juice recipes in Germany.
Since the juice is diluted with the mineral water, it is less sweet and therefore more refreshing than pure apple juice alone. Not only is it more refreshing, but also lower in calories. Easy to make at home, it is commercially available throughout Germany, and often contains about 40% juice. Here, in Canada, this is known as a non-alcoholic spritzer. At home, you can alter the amount of mineral water to suit your taste. Since different types of mineral water with different amounts of carbonation are available in Germany, the resulting drink can be modified to your own personal taste. In Canada it is difficult to find the right mineral water. Try the different brands until you find the one that's right for you. Personally, I really like apfelschorle with a "medium gas". It's so refreshing! I buy mineral water with a low sodium content or a sparkling carbonated water containing no salt. Don't like the fizzy taste? Then use "still" water (water with no "gas" or carbonation), in other words, either bottled or tap water! The result is diluted apple juice - not really exciting, but some people prefer this since it's not as sweet as full-strength juice.
