Apfelschorle

Apfelschorle is a popular beverage originating from Germany (and popular in neighboring Austria and Switzerland), consisting of a mix of apple juice and sparkling mineral water. The drink is well-loved for its refreshing taste and is a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks, offering a natural sweetness from the apple juice tempered by the crispness of carbonated water.

Apfelschorle typically contains a ratio of about 50% to 60% apple juice to 40% to 50% sparkling water, although this can vary according to personal preference or commercial brands. This beverage is especially popular during the warmer months and is commonly found in restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets throughout Germany and neighboring countries.

It's also easy to make at home, allowing for adjustments in sweetness and carbonation level to suit individual tastes.
