Say cheers to my Appletini that's made without alcohol, making it suitable for all ages. I use cold-pressed apple juice, a quick simple syrup, lemon juice and sparkling water. Crisp and refreshing.
Quick apple martini - great for hosting
This is one of those drinks that looks the part but takes barely any effort. It’s crisp, lightly sweet and super refreshing - exactly what you want when you need something quick to serve.
I use a good quality cold-pressed apple juice which eliminates the time taken to boil apple and sugar together. I love having a few easy mocktails like this up my sleeve, especially when hosting. It comes together in minutes but still feels a little bit special when served in a chilled glass.
I usually serve this as part of a relaxed drinks spread with my spiced rosemary almonds or Indian flavoured masala peanuts. It's always a welcome treat for guests who are avoiding alcohol.
I usually end up with a little extra simple syrup, which can be used in my mango mojito mocktail to add a touch more sweetness.
How I Make A Simple Syrup
Yields approximately 300 millilitres of simple syrup.
Add 200 mls of water and 200g of sugar to a saucepan. Heat gently, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool fully before using. Leftovers can be stored in a clean jar and kept refrigerated for 1 month.

I can hear the entry music and the line,"My nane is Bond, ... " I will now keep thinking about it yet again today! This mocktail is amazing in fact it is much better than a cocktail. Love it Jagruti.
