The Ranch Mocktail Recipe

Ingredients

1 whole cantaloupe (or honeydew melon)
2 celery stalks
1 apple
1/4-inch piece of ginger
1 750ml bottle of sparkling water
Salt to taste

For the garnish:
4 citrus slices (optional)

Directions

We used honeydew melon in place of the cantaloupe, which gives the juice a superbright green color.

Put all ingredients except sparkling water and salt through a fruit and vegetable juicer. Mix the juice with the sparkling water; serve over ice. Garnish with a citrus slice (optional) and toast away!

Serves four.
