Crowe’s Kitchen · Citrus & sparkle
Ruby Orange Spritz
Orange juice brings sunny sweetness to apple and pomegranate, while a squeeze of lemon sharpens the citrus edge. Plenty of sparkling water gives the fruit room to breathe. An orange slice finishes the glass with a fragrant touch of peel.
Made with Apple Pomegranate E+
5 min · One 8 fl oz drink · 10 fl oz faceted tumbler
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
Orange juice supplies the main fruit sweetness, while lemon adds a sharper citrus edge. Sparkling water dilutes the juices without adding another sweet 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) orange juice, chilled
- 0.5 fl oz (1 tbsp) lemon juice, chilled
- About 3.5 fl oz (7 tbsp) plain sparkling water, chilled; use only enough to bring the finished drink to 8 fl oz
- 1 thin orange slice, for garnish
Optional variation — choose before mixing
For a less sweet version, replace 1 tbsp orange juice with 1 tbsp plain sparkling 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
Combine the measured orange juice and measured lemon juice in an open measuring jug. Use thoroughly chilled liquids and a chilled glass; do not add ice.
- 2
Pour in the entire 2 fl oz bottle of E+ and stir gently to combine.
- 3
Add chilled plain sparkling water last, pouring slowly down the side of the open jug. Use about 3.5 fl oz (7 tbsp), pausing for foam to settle and stopping when the liquid reaches exactly 8 fl oz; never shake or blend the carbonated mixture.
- 4
Pour the full 8 fl oz serving into the chilled 10 fl oz faceted tumbler, without ice. Garnish with 1 thin orange slice. Serve promptly.
Mixologist’s tip: Strain freshly squeezed orange juice before measuring it if you prefer less pulp.
Serve alongside: Rosemary crackers with mild cheddar.
