Impress your friends and family by making a mocktail to celebrate any simple get-together at home, anniversaries, showers, or Valentine's day. You know what? Why just not relax with this Virgin Appletini and picture yourself swinging in a hammock sipping away at a luxurious beach holiday!
INGREDIENTS
Green apples - I have used Granny Smith for garnishing
Apple juice
Lemon Juice
Sparkling water same as club soda or fizzy water
Simple syrup
Ice cubes
I have made a few changes in making this mocktail as life got hectic during the holiday season, so instead of boiling apples with sugar, I simply used cold-pressed apple juice and lemon and lime sparkling water which was sweetened.
HOW TO MAKE NON-ALCOHOLIC GREEN APPLE MARTINI
Did I mention that this is so easy to make? Very easy! Combine all the ingredients except green apples in a cocktail shaker, shake well and strain into a fine-mesh into the martini glass. Garnish it with green apple slice (do not add ice) sit back and enjoy.
Turn off the heat and let the mixture cooled down completely. In a cocktail shaker add the mixture, club soda and ice. Shake very well and strain through a fine-mesh strainer. Pour into a martini glass, top it up with a green apple slice and serve.
