Notes
Substitutes:
- Apple Brandy: If you don't have apple brandy, you can use another type of brandy. This will slightly change the flavor but it would still make a delicious drink.
- Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice or grapefruit juice can be used instead of lemon juice for a different citrus twist.
- Ginger Syrup: If you're out of ginger syrup, make your own by simmering equal parts sugar and water with fresh ginger. Alternatively, simple syrup with a few dashes of ginger bitters can work in a pinch.
Making a Pitcher of Apple Ginger Fizz:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 16 oz of apple brandy, 8 oz of lemon juice, and 4 oz of ginger syrup.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the apple brandy, lemon juice, and ginger syrup. Stir well.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into individual ice-filled highball glasses, top with soda water, garnish with an apple slice and mint sprig, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Apple Brandy Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic apple cider or apple juice as a substitute for the apple brandy.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
