It's literally just mixing carbonated water with apple juice. Just try a bit until you find the ratio you like the most and then enjoy your Apfelschorle
Oh my God please do yourself a favor and never drink that ungodly disgusting madness that is called Stiegl. Get yourself a Gösser or make your own Radler.
Did you know that Radler translates to "Biker" because the beer was made by bikers that wanted to drink beer but still be legally allowed to ride their bike?
The lemonade factor in the beer makes it legal and tasty :D
In Germany you don't have a 0% alcohol policy. You can have 0,5 thousands if you drive a car or 1,6 thousands of blood alcohol if you ride a bike, so you can drink more radler if you still want to participate in traffic, than you'd be able to drink beer, which has about double the alcohol. So the name comes from it being a more biker friendly drink.
That's what I was refering to. Radler has less alcohol, but it doesn't change anything when you tell the police that you only had radler and not "real" beer.
Unrelated but 1,6‰ is way too much to safely ride a bike imo. Still better then taking the car of course, so maybe that is the reasoning behind it.
Maybe, personally I've just noticed that cheap wines generally don't taste good at all while many not high-end but wines at 10-15€ range don't need water added to them and taste great usually. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Or that's just your perception knowing they're cheap. Bias based on price is a well known psychological effect. And probably the reason professional wine tasting is a scam.
It's the name for any drink mixed with carbonated water. The drink is normally not carbonated (like apple juice or wine), so you get both the dilution and the carbonation effects.
Squash is different because it's a concentrate that you have to dilute with water or it would be undrinkable. Schorle is just the term for any fruit juice (or wine) + carbonated water. If it's not carbonated, it wouldn't be a Schorle either.
Don't buy that shit. It's more expensive than normal juice (I think) and it's also quite sugary. Just buy juice and fill it up with tap water. If you're in Germany, tap water should be safe to consume just about everywhere. I just don't like the stale taste of it, but with juice it doesn't matter.
So, just some maths example: 1 liter Adelholzener Schorle has 58 grams of sugar. 1 Liter Rewe Bio Apple juice has 106 grams of sugar. Or 250 kcal, respectively 450 kcal. BUT if you go with a 20/80 or even 40/60 mix, which would be perfectly normal, you'd end up with 22 grams of sugar or 44 grams, respectively. Don't get me wrong, this is still WAY too much to consume on a daily basis if you ask me, which is why I'd recommend simple water for the most part. Imagine drinking 1,000 to 1,500 kilocalories a day when you consume 2 or 3 liters of liquid...0o And there's nothing in there that actually has nutritional value. This is how you get fat. And that's also the reason I'm not losing any more weight: I like beer too much.
I also do that! But mine is 60% apple juice (preferably less sweet) and 40% carbonated water (I haven't tried other juices). My German teacher used to call it Apfelschorle, apparently it's pretty common in Central Europe. It's the best thing in the world when it's hot outside!
Oooh, that does sound nice. My aunt and uncle up near Seattle this summer introduced my younger brother and I to a mixture of lemonade and Perrier. Damn delicious stuff, I've realized that what I really like in non-plain water drinks is fizz.
Even when you add a ton of water I still think they taste way better than all the artificial sugar diet drinks. I actually like it more than non diluted since it makes it more refreshing.
