Method

Beverage (per bottle)

1

Chill bottle

Ensure the Appletiser bottle has been refrigerated for at least 2–4 hours prior to serving so it is properly chilled (4–8°C / 39–46°F). If you need to chill quickly, submerge the sealed bottle in an ice-water bath for 15–20 minutes.

2

Prepare glass

Fill the highball or Collins glass about two-thirds full with 6 ice cubes. If you prefer less dilution and immediate chill, use fewer larger ice cubes (3–4).

3

Open bottle

Carefully remove the cap from the Appletiser bottle. Hold the bottle upright and open slowly to reduce foaming and spillage from carbonation.

4

Pour

Tilt the glass slightly and gently pour the Appletiser down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and minimize foam. Fill to about 1 cm (¼ inch) below the rim.

5

Garnish (optional)

If desired, squeeze the lemon or lime wedge briefly over the drink for a touch of citrus, then drop the wedge into the glass. Add a mint sprig for aroma and visual appeal.

6

Serve

Place a long spoon or straw in the glass and serve immediately while sparkling and cold. Advise guests to sip gently to enjoy the effervescence.

7

Use one clean highball or Collins glass per bottle. Provide a straw or long spoon for stirring gently if the guest wants to mix in garnish. Dispose of leftover beverage within 24 hours if opened and refrigerated; best consumed immediately for maximum effervescence and flavor.
