Apple Ginger Crisp
Apple juice and a little fresh ginger make a fragrant orchard pairing, with lemon adding a bright citrus edge. The ginger steeps briefly before straining, leaving a gentle spice accent. Three thin apple slices fan across the rim for a simple finish.
Made with Apple Pomegranate E+
6 min · One 8 fl oz drink · 10 fl oz rocks glass
Original recipe by Capt. Solomon D. Crowe
One 2 fl oz E+ bottle + 6 fl oz mixers = one 8 fl oz drink.
The finished drink contains the bottle’s caffeine: 85 mg according to the US product sheet. Dilution changes the concentration, while the total caffeine stays the same. Check your bottle’s current label.
The flavor balance
Apple juice supplies sweetness, while lemon contributes acidity. The small ginger measure adds a restrained spice accent without making ginger the main ingredient.
Ingredients
Makes 8 US fl oz · About 237 mL · No ice
- 1 full 2 fl oz bottle Isagenix E+ Apple Pomegranate, chilled
- 2 fl oz (1/4 cup) apple juice, chilled; plus 1 tbsp extra of the same juice only for restoring this measured volume after straining, reserving any unused extra separately
- 0.5 fl oz (1 tbsp) lemon juice, chilled
- About 3.5 fl oz (7 tbsp) cold water; use only enough to bring the finished drink to 8 fl oz
- 1/8 tsp finely grated fresh ginger (optional), for infusion
- 3 very thin apple slices, arranged in a fan, for garnish
Optional variation — choose before mixing
For less apple sweetness, replace 1 tbsp infused apple juice with 1 tbsp cold water. Keep the full 2 fl oz E+ bottle unchanged and the finished liquid at exactly 8 fl oz; make the swap before mixing.
How to make it
- 1
Stir the optional 1/8 tsp grated ginger in the measured apple juice, then leave for 1 minute. Strain before adding E+ and measure the infused juice back to 2 fl oz (1/4 cup), topping up with a little more of the same juice if needed. Skip this infusion if omitting ginger.
- 2
Combine the measured infused apple juice and measured lemon juice in an open measuring jug. Use thoroughly chilled liquids and a chilled glass; do not add ice.
- 3
Pour in the entire 2 fl oz bottle of E+ and stir gently to combine. Do not strain or discard any of the mixture after this step.
- 4
Add cold water gradually, using about 3.5 fl oz (7 tbsp), and stir gently. Stop at exactly the 8 fl oz liquid mark in the jug.
- 5
Pour the full 8 fl oz serving into the chilled 10 fl oz rocks glass, without ice. Garnish with 3 very thin apple slices, arranged in a fan. Serve promptly.
Mixologist’s tip: Grate the ginger finely, then strain it from the apple juice before adding E+ so no finished drink is discarded.
Serve alongside: A slice of mild cheddar on whole-grain toast.
