Prep in advance
The Absolut Haring Fizz is a cocktail that takes quite a bit of preparation, so make sure to plan ahead. If you’re aiming to serve it on Saturday, get all your prep done the night before.
Juice your fruits
While it’s tempting to grab store-bought Orange, Apple, and Lemon Juice, you should juice your own fruits, as it will make for a much better drink. Trust us!
Use a regular Blender for the Apples, and a Citrus Elbow for the Lemons and Oranges.
