Drinking is strictly prohibited and against the law in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. However in my humble opinion I think the Saudis have cornered the market on the vast variety of delicious non-alcoholic drinks. One of my favorites is Saudi Champagne. I enjoyed it so much that the last time we were out and had it at a restaurant I carefully and slowly drank my drink so I could reconstruct it later at home!
Here is my recipe which I hope you’ll enjoy:
1 part Pierre water to 2 parts Sparkling Apple Juice.
6 – 8 sprigs of fresh mint
8 – 10 apple slices sliced very thin but with the skin still on; no need to peel.
3-4 lemon slices also sliced thin
Mix it all together in a lovely crystal pitcher and serve immediately. The good news is that it will also taste delicious if there is any left over that is served the next day!
