Ingredients

• Apple Cider Vinegar – I like to us Bragg’s Citrus Ginger ACV Blend but you can use your favorite ACV.
• Sparkling Water – You will need half a can of plan sparkling water (6 ounces or 3/4 cups).
• Lime – You will need the juice of one lime for the drink as well as another lime for the garnish. Lemon can be used instead if you prefer.

Tips for the Best Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

• Chill your sparkling water before making the mocktail.
• Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. Bottled lime or lemon juice works in a pinch but won’t taste as vibrant.
• Stir the drink gently to combine the mixture without losing the fizz.

Additions and Variations

• Add mint: Muddle a few fresh mint leaves at the bottom of your glass for a burst of minty flavor.
• Swap the lime: Use lemon juice if that’s what you have on hand.
• Sweeten it up: Add a drizzle of honey or a splash of apple juice or orange juice to offset the tartness if you prefer your drinks with a touch of sweetness.
• Add juice: Pour in a splash of cranberry juice or pineapple juice for a fruity twist on this delicious drink.
• Turn it into a cocktail: Add a shot of vodka, tequila, or gin, if you want to turn this into a cocktail with alcohol.
