The Appletini Mocktail is one of my favorite non-alcoholic drinks. It is both sweet and delicious, making it the perfect drink for a baby shower, brunches, or whenever you want a tasty cocktail without the alcohol.

Ingredients

The best thing about this mocktail is that there are only a handful of ingredients used.

organic, 100% apple juice – choose 100% juice as it does not contain added sugar. And if possible, reach for organic 100% apple juice to reduce possible pesticide contamination
apple – any sort of red apple works well with this drink. Choose from a gala, Fuji, ambrosia, or a red delicious
lemon juice – use a juicer to squeeze fresh lemon juice!
sparkling water – this is the sparkling water I prefer to use as it doesn’t contain the PFAS chemicals as most other top sparkling brands

How to Make the Appletini Mocktail

To make this mocktail feel more like a cocktail, I prefer to create it like I would any specialty drink.

Using a muddler, press the apple slices in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add the remaining of the ingredients including one or two ice cubes to ensure a crisp, cold drink to enjoy.

Strain the mixture into a cocktail glass, then pour over the sparkling water. I recommend pouring just two ounces so the mocktail doesn’t seem watered down. However, you may pour more or less, whatever you prefer. To finish the mocktail, garnish with a thinly sliced apple. Enjoy!
