This vodka mocktail is the perfect combination of sweet and puckery. It can also be made vegan and paleo.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 ounce (1/2 tablespoon) maple syrup or simple syrup
  • 1/4 to 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) tonic water or sparkling water

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the apple juice, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and maple or simple syrup.
