Exact quantities, then the method.
This is about as English as a mocktail gets. Chill a brew of Twinings Apple and Pear Green Tea, then build it up with cloudy apple juice, a squeeze of lemon and a splash of soda. The result is a long, orchard-fresh glass with a little fizz and no alcohol, the sort of thing to hand round in the garden.

Method

- Leave to cool, then chill.
- Ice two tall glasses, pour in the chilled apple and pear tea, then the apple juice.
- Add the lemon juice, then chilled soda to each apple spritz; stir gently.
- Lemon slices on top, and serve the apple spritz at once.
- Use cloudy apple juice rather than clear for extra depth and a more rounded, less acidic finish.
