Apple Cider (Vinegar) Spritz
Mocktail Recipe!
A “spritz” is a drink that contains a sparkling beverage and a combination of either alcohol and/or a fruit flavoring. However, a spritz doesn’t have to contain alcohol and, in fact, our Apple Cider (Vinegar) Spritz is non-alcoholic, quick to make and delicious! (Ofc, you can add alcohol if you’d like. Suggestions below.)
Now, you can make it very-very simple by mixing sparkling water with Pineapple Collaborative ACV. Their ACV is truly unique, as it actually tastes like apples. The recipe ratio is to your taste— We like 1 shot ACV to 8oz Sparkling water.
Or you can make an ACV syrup ahead of time, keep it stored in the fridge and mix a slightly sweeter mocktail, for up to a week!
