Description

This Healthy Sour Green Apple and Lime Soda is a refreshing, fizzy beverage made with fresh green apple juice, sparkling spring water, and freshly squeezed lime juice, enhanced with a dash of nutritious spirulina powder. With no added sugar, it offers a tart and natural flavor that’s perfect for a light, invigorating drink.

Ingredients

Juice Base

  • 1.5 cups Fresh Green Apple Juice (made from 3 – 5 whole green apples, depending on juicer)
  • 2 tbsp Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 1 dash Spirulina Powder

Carbonation

  • 2.5 cups Sparkling Spring Water (Additive-Free)

Garnish (Optional)

  • 1 Lime or Apple slices

Instructions

  1. Juice Apples: Chop the apples into quarters or smaller pieces as needed based on your juicer type. Feed the pieces into the juicer one by one to extract approximately 1.5 cups of fresh green apple juice. If using a blender, chop apples into 1-inch chunks and blend until a purée forms, adding up to 1/2 cup water as needed. Strain the blended mixture through a nut milk bag or fine mesh sieve to extract juice.
  2. Add Lime Juice: Immediately pour the freshly made green apple juice into a pitcher or jug and stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice to prevent oxidation and browning.
  3. Stir in Spirulina: Whisk in a dash of spirulina powder evenly into the juice mixture. If clumps form, blend the mixture in a smoothie blender for about 30 seconds before proceeding.
  4. Pour in Sparkling Water: Carefully stir in 2.5 cups of additive-free sparkling spring water to the juice mixture. Adjust sparkling water quantity to achieve desired tartness and flavor strength.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Serve the soda chilled in elegant cocktail or martini glasses. Garnish with slices of lime or apple, squeezing a bit of citrus juice on apple slices to prevent browning.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of apples depending on juicer efficiency to yield 1.5 cups juice.
  • If you don’t have a juicer, blending and straining is a great alternative to make fresh apple juice.
  • Adding lime juice immediately after juicing prevents the apple juice from discoloring.
  • Spirulina adds a nutritional boost and a slight earthy taste; blend if it clumps.
  • Customize the flavor strength by varying the amount of sparkling water.
  • Garnishes add visual appeal and enhance aroma; use citrus juice to keep apple slices fresh.
