Introduction

A combination of fresh fruit juice and a little sparkling water (seltzer) makes a very refreshing drink and allows a nonimbibing guest the opportunity to “work the crowd” with glass in hand, but without subverting his or her desire to avoid alcohol. Serve in a 12-ounce tumbler or highball glass.

Ingredients

	~	Ice cubes or cracked ice
	½	cup squeezed or puréed juice of fresh fruit, such as oranges, grapefruits, apples, various melons, strawberries, papayas, or mangos
	½	cup sparkling water
	~	Thin slices of same fruit, for garnish

Steps

Place ice in serving glass. Add juice and sparkling water and stir lightly to blend. Garnish with fruit slices.
