German Drinks

Apart from the obvious generalization that Germans drink beer all the time, they also have an interesting drink called Apfelschorle. It is sparkling water mixed with apple juice. Its so common that its even on restaurant menus next to the usual Coca-Cola products. Coca-Cola actually has a brand of it called Lift. You can buy it in a bottle from the grocery store but in most restaurants they just make it themselves with the sparkling mineral water and apple juice. It tends to be less sweet than just plain apple juice which is why it is so popular.
