I usually drink them with juice and club soda in the summer. And if you add booze, then it's a cocktail. Club soda, pomegranate, vodka: very nice.Phialahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604909119508288912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238357237695791562.post-85529720427595101452011-06-10T16:04:51.445+02:002011-06-10T16:04:51.445+02:00My husband likes to do this with club soda and cra...My husband likes to do this with club soda and cranberry juice and just a squeeze of lime.Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238357237695791562.post-29217033656133939932011-06-10T13:18:13.428+02:002011-06-10T13:18:13.428+02:00I've been doing this for years with fruit juic...I've been doing this for years with fruit juice and seltzer but we don't have a special name for it in the U.S. Thanks for teaching me a new word!'norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673994227824410949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238357237695791562.post-76458831731348921772011-06-10T12:24:51.944+02:002011-06-10T12:24:51.944+02:00BTW: in Austria its not called a "Schorle&quo...BTW: in Austria its not called a "Schorle" but you have to add "´gschpritzt". So if you order a Apfelschorle you would have to say: "I want an ´gschpritzten Apfelsaft".
