This delightful drink combines the tangy goodness of Activated Apple Cider Vinegar with invigorating citrus and herbs for a perfect summer beverage.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons Activated Apple Cider Vinegar
1 cup sparkling water (chilled)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 1 orange)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1-2 teaspoons honey (or to taste, for natural sweetness)
Fresh mint leaves (a handful, plus extra for garnish)
Ice cubes
Lemon and orange slices (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Citrus Juice:
In a jug, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice and lemon juice. Stir in the honey until it is fully dissolved.
Add Activated Apple Cider Vinegar:
Stir the Activated Apple Cider Vinegar into the citrus juice mixture. Mix well to ensure the vinegar is evenly distributed.
Add Mint and Ice:
Gently muddle the mint leaves at the bottom of the jug to release their flavour. Add ice cubes to the jug.
Top with Sparkling Water:
Pour the chilled sparkling water into the jug, gently stirring to combine with the citrus and vinegar mixture.
Garnish and Serve:
Pour the spritz into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with additional mint leaves and slices of lemon and orange for a decorative touch.
Tip:
For a Fruity Twist:
Add a few fresh berries (such as raspberries or blueberries) to the jug before adding the sparkling water. They’ll infuse the drink with a subtle berry flavour and vibrant colour.
