When people think Germany, the drink that always comes to mind is beer. But there's also a German non-alcoholic beverage that has a strong hold on German thirst, albeit without an October festival dedicated to its consumption.
Apfelschorle is just carbonated apple juice. Germans can't get enough of it - especially the brand Lift, which is at least as ubiquitous as Coca-Cola in German stores. It's a tasty alternative to lemonade on a hot summer day, and its lack of phosphoric acid makes it less teeth-rotting than cola.
One would think that there could be a lucrative market for apfelschorle in America, although maybe not, since the Germans' love of carbonation in water never caught on here either.
