This vodka mocktail is the perfect combination of sweet and puckery. It can also be made vegan and paleo.
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add the apple juice, lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and maple or simple syrup.
2 ounces (1/4 cup or 60 ml) 100% apple juice, 1/2 ounce (1 tablespoon) lime juice, 1/4 to 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 ounce (1/2 tablespoon) maple syrup
Shake until well chilled, about 30 seconds.
Add the tonic/sparkling water and stir to combine. Don’t shake the tonic/sparkling water! Use a spoon to sample a bit. Want more bite? Add another 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar at a time (up to another 3/4 teaspoon).
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) tonic water
Strain into a martini or coupe glass and enjoy. Garnish with a lemon twist or slice of green apple.
