About this dish
Apple cider vinegar loosened in cold sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon loses much of the sharpness it has straight from the bottle.

Allulose or honey replaces sugar and is stirred into the vinegar and lemon base before the ice goes in. Lemon slices and apple mint go on top, and the glass is served while the bubbles last.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Chill the glass briefly or rinse it with cold water, then drain it well.
Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar first so the tart base can mix evenly before dilution.
- 2
Add 1 tablespoon allulose or honey and stir all the way to the bottom for about 20 seconds.
If using honey, keep stirring until no thick streaks remain on the glass or spoon.
- 3
Fill the glass with 1 cup ice cubes to chill the vinegar base quickly.
Do not drop the ice in too hard, and let the mixture settle between the cubes so the flavor stays even.
- 4
Pour 400 ml cold sparkling water slowly down the inside wall of the glass.
If foam rises quickly, pause for a moment, then continue pouring so the bubbles stay lively instead of overflowing.
- 5
Stir only once or twice from the bottom with a long spoon.
Stop when no syrup remains on the bottom and the acidity is evenly distributed.
- 6
Top with 2 lemon slices and 2 apple mint leaves for aroma.
Serve immediately while the drink is still fizzy, and avoid drinking it on an empty stomach if the stomach is sensitive.
