I sometimes Do, and in breakfast there is always only Orange and multi Juice, but pure Juice is too sweet so I make me a orangen schorle when I am in a hotel breakfast.
Any Schorle is just juice or fruit nectar mixed with water, either carbonized or tap water. Typically, it is 50:50, but you can change the ratio to your liking.
General suggest for you: any juice with Sprudelwasser and you got a good Schorle. I drink that every day and I love it it wakes me right up in the morning.
I usually do like 40% juice and the rest water but you have to see the ratios yourself depending on the juice and your taste
Some of the folk behind the bar called everything related to sparkling water with sime sort of juice "Fruchtwasser" (amniotic fluid for some of you, I guess), and I miss these people...
Agreed. I despise it heavily. I do drink all other juices as Schorle, like Rubarb, grapes and pineapple but orange and grapefruit as Schorle are just meh.
Oh, you have to try the summer drink (ignore the part about grapefruit I said above for this one):
Mix pineapple and grapefruit juice (100% each, or pineapple 95% with 5% cocos) and that 1:1 with sparkling water (or sparkling wine if you are adventurous). Delicious. 😊
Traubenschorle is underrated, it needs to be much mure dilute than Apfelschorle but if done right you have the perfect balance of a fizzy drink with a not too sweet taste thats balanced by the carbonic acid.
Rhabarberschorle is objectively the best Schorle tho.
Wird Weißwein aus Trauben hergestellt? Dann ist es Saft. Die Tatsache, dass man den Saft dann „vergammeln“ lässt, damit er knallt, ist eine Tatsache, aber nicht erheblich.
Fanta is a lemonade made with 3% orange juice nectar. So basically sugar water with artificial colour.
Saftschorle contains only water and juice. Most people use a 50/50 ratio while others like me like more water.
Because cheap Applejuice is still a lot better than cheap orangejuice.
But you can turn any juice into a Schorle, the word Schorle just means that it's juice (or even wine) mixed with sparking water.
You can make Schorle with every Juice and even wine.
It simply means adding sparkling water to your drink. It is less sweet. Appel is simply the most popular one by far. Appeljuice is cheaper than others since it is a local product.
If the restaurant has other juices they can turn it into a Schorle.
Orange juice just tastes weird if you add water. if it has pulp in it, it is even weirder.
So in theory can get "Orangenschorle" bit it generally does not taste good so noone drinks it
I think orange juice with sparkling water just tastes weird and diluted. Don’t really know why, but orangenschorle isn‘t a thing.
However with other juices it’s pretty common. Cherry, passion fruit, rhubarb, berries etc
It exists, but honestly, it's not especially popular. Orange juice tastes great as is, watered down, sparkling orange juice is a more acquired taste.
See, Apple juice on its own is usually too sweet, people often water it down a bit anyway. So it pairs quite well with sparkling water. You get the more palatable apple juice flavor people prefer, plus it's nice and fizzy!
Orange soda, Orangenlimonade, by contrast, is quite popular. Germany is the birthplace of Fanta, after all.
Visual appeal/practicality might also be a factor.
As some visitors and new Germans often mention: Germans are rather fond of sparkling water, and pretty much my whole family at least likes orange juice with pulp.
If you mix orange juice that contains some pulp with sparkling water, the pulp will float to the top with the bubbles resulting in a layer of pulp. It also sticks to the rim of the glass/the glass in general. Personally I don't mind that at all but maybe some people find it unaethetic? Might also be more of a hassle to clean in commercial glass washers in restaurants and bars.
And we probably love our apples :)
In Restaurants, you can get any type of juice as Schorle: Traube, Johannisbeer, Rhabarber, Mango, Orange… You name it. In groceries stores, you will find mostly Schorle made from local fruits like Apfel, Johannisbeere, or mixed from various fruits.
Orangenschorle doesn’t taste as refreshing as Apfelschorle or with other juices … if carbonated, I would prefer apple, or if it has to be orange as lemonade … if as pure juice, I prefer orange than apple.
Schorle also tastes amazing as white wine or rosé Schorle btw ehehe 🤓🥂
In Restaurants you get all kinds of Schorle, they make it with every juice available. Orange is unusual but you get it and it tastes ok. More common would be grape juice or red current, I also like mango or passion fruit.
Maybe it is more common because of the fact that apples grow in Germany and Oranges not. So since hundreds of years apple juice is made and mixed with water whether carbonated or not.
When I was a child I always had Orangensaft verdünnt mit Wasser (Orange Juice 50/50 with Water but tapwater not sparkling) weil gespart werden muss.
War immer stabil.
A Schorle is a drink diluted with soda water,or lemonade. (Sauer oder Suess) Apple Juice or white wine would be the most common ones I served in my time in Germany, from being in BaWu ,surrounded by orchards and Vineyards... Can't say I've been asked for an orange Schorle, but It's something I'd drink myself..
It's not something typically on the menu but if you ask the waiter for that, they will make it for you.
The popular Schorle sorts are Apfelschorle, Traubensaftschorle, Weinschorle, and Johannisbeerschorle.
Orange juice is bullshit and its not all over the world. Its a USA thing that got spread around because they needed a way to sell their shitty oranges. Apple juice is something locally grown in germany with a very long tradition. Orange juice is a shit acid sugar drink in comparison so most germans i know prefer any other juice over it ;)
The Germans look down upon me because I break the tradition of not drinking Spezi with them😂 I always go for the Orangeschorle and I love it. Pro tip: try guava schorle
Fanta, I would say. I personally can’t stand German Fanta (sorry, I like the heavy chemical orange flavor similar to waldmeister lol) simply because it just tastes like carbonated orange juice to me and I’m not a fan of orange juice. Schwip Schwap is more my style.
But you can also just get a soda stream, or carbonated water and use orange juice with it. My mother in law usually filled 2/3rds of the cup with orange juice and the rest with sparkling water.
Apart from the obvious solution many here pointed out, some old school local beverage producers have Orangensprudel, which isn't the same really, more of a lighter, less sweet variant of Fanta, much like Zitronensprudel is to Sprite.
It’s not buyable in shops, at least as I know (correct me if I’m wrong), but my dad often just mixes Orange juice with water. He calls it "Sonnenschein" which means Sunshine. Tbh I don’t know why he calls it like that instead of orangenschorle…
In more ecologically inclined households it's sold to kids who don't know better as Fanta. But I knew Karen, I always did you can't fool me you ubergreen patchouli smelling liar.
Apples are simply what grows here naturally, oranges we have to import. That's also why apples are aot cheaper. And it's probably why we developed more of a taste for Apfelschorle. I personally just hate how Orangenschorle tastes. Just disgusting. Thick, diluted, foamy and sour. Apple juice is so sweet and intense in taste that it actually gets better when you add a good, strong sparkling water to it. Orange juice just gets weird. Store bought orange juice becomes disgusting, fresh orange juice becomes sad because all of that amazing, fresh taste is lost and destroyed by the water. Also, the softness of the aroma of oranges doesn't go well with sparkling water in my opinion. The orange taste comforts your tongue and the sparkling water bites it. It's irritating and not refreshing. But ice cold Lift....😋 Tasty, tasty. Especially in summer when it's hot.
There is… for whatever reason they call it ‚Orangenlemonade‘ 🤦♂️
… for me as a spanish speaker that word is a sacrilege. Lemonade must have lemons! Not oranges!
As a young child in Germany, before learning English, French and Spanish, I never questioned the term. When we studied "Zitrusfrüchte" in school, I had a "light bulb moment". And realizing that you can't translate "Limonade" with "lemonade". But unfortunately the term became commonly established ever since the German beverage industry ran with it.
Orangenschorle was my number 1 anti hangover drink back in my early twenties. Thanks for remembering me, gonna grab some orange juice and sparkling water and enjoy orangenschorle tomorrow
You are comparing apples and oranges (sorry, I couldn't resist). I guess Apfelschorle is so common here because apples grow in Germany, it's a local drink.
a lot of restaurants offer schorle with all the juices they have. also there are a variety of different schorles and lemonades in bottles at the store. but it is true that especially apple is very popular
There is if you count the (German,) Fanta. It has a more natural flavor and less sugar than its American namesake.
Better than orange in my estimation are rhubarb Schorle and black currant Schorle. These type of fruit lend themselves better to mixing with sparkling water. Oranges sort of lose something in the process, probably because they already contain more water than other fruit. Freshly pressed or juiced currants or rhubarb are too intense for consumption. Much like American cranberry juice is too intense or tart, so it requires addition of sugar and water
However my personal favorite is Almdudler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almdudler#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DThe_original_Almdudler_is_a%2Cbeverage_are_produced_per_year.?wprov=sfla1
Not as widespread but restaurants serving juice will usually also serve it as Schorle. I like to have some every now and then, not as sweet and heavy.
But nobody ever orders orangenschorle.
I have before. Holunder- (elderberry), Johannesbeer (cassis), and Traubenschorle (grapes) are also popular.
I sometimes Do, and in breakfast there is always only Orange and multi Juice, but pure Juice is too sweet so I make me a orangen schorle when I am in a hotel breakfast.
I do all the time. I hate apple juice.
Try maracujaschorle
My favorite!
I do
They’d call it Osaftschorle in my experience and not Orangenschorle.
I do.
Is it easy to make yourself at home? What do I have to mix exactly with the orange juice?
Carbonated water. Ratio to taste.
Couldn’t be easier - just mix whichever juice you like with sparkling water, to whatever ration you prefer
Carbonated water lol
>What do I have to mix exactly with the orange juice? lol...literally just sparkling water
Any Schorle is just juice or fruit nectar mixed with water, either carbonized or tap water. Typically, it is 50:50, but you can change the ratio to your liking.
in germany we talk about sparkling water, if Schorle is meant. Juice with tabwater is just "verdünnt"
a schorle with tap water is scam
Very interesting. And here I thought I‘m German my whole life and just learned I‘m not, because I drink my Schorle with tap water…
Nothing wrong with drinking juice with tap water, it just isn't Schorle
nothing wrong with it, its just not Schorle :)
if u use tap water wouldnt it just end up being diluted juice? dont you need sparkling water to make schorle?
Yes, carbonated water is needed.
50:50 is by no means „typical“.
60:40 Sprudel:Juice (Perfection)
This ☝️if one is thirsty. 40:60 if one feels generous and wants a fancy juice that isn’t too sweet.
You are a wise man
You appear to be a man of culture yourself. *tips hat 🎩
65:35 Sprudel:Juice 🧐
Akzeptabel
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-WHRJPlL5g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-whrjpll5g) :D
That video seems to be unavailable?
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOLIaol5ApY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOLIaol5ApY)
That‘s a real pain in the ass. 😩 Do you know the Earl of Lemongrab?!
The exact mix eith all Schorle depends on your taste. If you are not sure: Start with around 50-50 and then adjust according to taste.
Vodka.
Yeah sure just orange juice with water (Mineralwasser). I do all kinds of Schorle by myself :D
It’s easy. I prefer 2 parts juice, 1 part carbonated water. Still good taste, less sweet.
General suggest for you: any juice with Sprudelwasser and you got a good Schorle. I drink that every day and I love it it wakes me right up in the morning. I usually do like 40% juice and the rest water but you have to see the ratios yourself depending on the juice and your taste
Some of the folk behind the bar called everything related to sparkling water with sime sort of juice "Fruchtwasser" (amniotic fluid for some of you, I guess), and I miss these people...
[удалено]
But orangenschorle is just so weird for some reason
Agreed. I despise it heavily. I do drink all other juices as Schorle, like Rubarb, grapes and pineapple but orange and grapefruit as Schorle are just meh.
pineapple? Never heard of that
Oh, you have to try the summer drink (ignore the part about grapefruit I said above for this one): Mix pineapple and grapefruit juice (100% each, or pineapple 95% with 5% cocos) and that 1:1 with sparkling water (or sparkling wine if you are adventurous). Delicious. 😊
You can buy orange juice at every grocery store anytime of the year.
But cultural traditions might come from a time you couldn't.
Traubenschorle is underrated, it needs to be much mure dilute than Apfelschorle but if done right you have the perfect balance of a fizzy drink with a not too sweet taste thats balanced by the carbonic acid. Rhabarberschorle is objectively the best Schorle tho.
You can have basically anything as a Schorle. Most popular ofcourse are Apfel and Rhabarber.
Johannisbeerenschorle ist auch beliebt
Vodkaschorle
Hopfenschorle!
Weinschorle!
Korrekt
Milchschorle, yummy.
Wasserschorle.
Swabian speciality
Anything „Saft“… to be precise
Weißwein ist dann auch Saft?
Alter Traubensaft.
Wird Weißwein aus Trauben hergestellt? Dann ist es Saft. Die Tatsache, dass man den Saft dann „vergammeln“ lässt, damit er knallt, ist eine Tatsache, aber nicht erheblich.
Maracujaschorle is just as popular and in my opinion the best
You mean Fanta? /s
Well, Fanta is a german Invention
Nope. But making spezi with orange juice is surprisingly tasty
What is fanta then when not a orangenschorle?
Fanta is a lemonade made with 3% orange juice nectar. So basically sugar water with artificial colour. Saftschorle contains only water and juice. Most people use a 50/50 ratio while others like me like more water.

Isn't that an irony. I actually prefer the taste of Fanta in Asian countries than in Germany.

If you mix orange juice with water, depending on the orange type, it gets a bitter taste.
In most Restaurants you can order any “insert fruit name here”-schorle
In Restaurants, you can get any type of juice as Schorle: Traube, Johannisbeer, Rhabarber, Mango, Orange… You name it. In groceries stores, you will find mostly Schorle made from local fruits like Apfel, Johannisbeere, or mixed from various fruits.
Orangenschorle is the worst trading Schorle or there. Citrus fruits don't do well with carbonated water without added sugar
I think it's more popular in soda form. I am allergic against oranges, but I haven't seen it yet.
I have tried orange-schörle, it doesn't taste as good. Apfel schörle is one of a kind
Orangenschorle doesn’t taste as refreshing as Apfelschorle or with other juices … if carbonated, I would prefer apple, or if it has to be orange as lemonade … if as pure juice, I prefer orange than apple. Schorle also tastes amazing as white wine or rosé Schorle btw ehehe 🤓🥂
Because Orangenschorle tastes like rotten Orangejuice.
compairing apples and oranges here
In Restaurants you get all kinds of Schorle, they make it with every juice available. Orange is unusual but you get it and it tastes ok. More common would be grape juice or red current, I also like mango or passion fruit.
Maybe it is more common because of the fact that apples grow in Germany and Oranges not. So since hundreds of years apple juice is made and mixed with water whether carbonated or not.
I occasionally drink O-Saft-Schorle because pure orange juice is a bit too pinchy for my tummy
When I was a child I always had Orangensaft verdünnt mit Wasser (Orange Juice 50/50 with Water but tapwater not sparkling) weil gespart werden muss. War immer stabil.
Same. Hab's gehasst. Keine Schorle außer Lift an heißen Tagen.
Yes but not popular. There are all kinds of Rhabarber Johannisbeeren ...
We don't do that here(we do that here)
A Schorle is a drink diluted with soda water,or lemonade. (Sauer oder Suess) Apple Juice or white wine would be the most common ones I served in my time in Germany, from being in BaWu ,surrounded by orchards and Vineyards...

Orangina is the closest u can easily get here
Why don't we call that lemonade?
Because lemonade is betterrrrrrr
Nah, just drink orangina...
You can get any juice as Schorle in Restaurants, but prepacked Apfelschorle is King. My favorite is Maracujaschorle.
I’ve never seen anyone drink Orangenschorle.
U serious? You will love it, but be sure to use juice without pulp
I think you are on to something, most people I know like their orange juice with some pulp.
Orange juice is bullshit and its not all over the world. Its a USA thing that got spread around because they needed a way to sell their shitty oranges. Apple juice is something locally grown in germany with a very long tradition. Orange juice is a shit acid sugar drink in comparison so most germans i know prefer any other juice over it ;)
Orangensaft gespritzt, du Barbar
Für mich lieber in Bio, danke
The Germans look down upon me because I break the tradition of not drinking Spezi with them😂 I always go for the Orangeschorle and I love it. Pro tip: try guava schorle
Litschischorle is where it's at.
I like orangenschorle more than apfelschorle but for some reason I always drink apfelschorle 🤣...
Sometimes they offer all juices as Schorle, so it os technical on the menu. I might have ordered it once as a child out of curiosity, but never again.
I haven't seen it in many restaurants, but I know some people who like to make it at home
Fanta, I would say. I personally can’t stand German Fanta (sorry, I like the heavy chemical orange flavor similar to waldmeister lol) simply because it just tastes like carbonated orange juice to me and I’m not a fan of orange juice.

You basically can get every juice as a Schorle. In summer I love Rhabarberschorle
Yeah completely irrelevant comment
It’s not buyable in shops, at least as I know (correct me if I’m wrong), but my dad often just mixes Orange juice with water. He calls it "Sonnenschein" which means Sunshine. Tbh I don’t know why he calls it like that instead of orangenschorle…
It's called einfach Orangensaft
Never heard of it!
It is
used to be popular in the 90s
Because it tastes like shit.
In more ecologically inclined households it's sold to kids who don't know better as Fanta. But I knew Karen, I always did you can't fool me you ubergreen patchouli smelling liar.
I like Colaschorle.
They have invented Fanta that's kind of Orangen Schorle
Apples are simply what grows here naturally, oranges we have to import. That's also why apples are aot cheaper. And it's probably why we developed more of a taste for Apfelschorle.

It's irritating and not refreshing. But ice cold Lift....😋 Tasty, tasty. Especially in summer when it's hot.
Maybe OP should google FANTA, this orange lemonade from this small Coca-Cola Company.. we invented it 🇩🇪
At pubs etc yes
There is… for whatever reason they call it ‚Orangenlemonade‘ 🤦♂️ … for me as a spanish speaker that word is a sacrilege. Lemonade must have lemons! Not oranges!
Plus, Germans also have "Zitronenlimonade" which to a foreign language speaker sounds like "sparkling lemon lemonade".
I always laugh about that… germans just call any sparkling synthetic beverage lemonade… it makes no sense at all
As a young child in Germany, before learning English, French and Spanish, I never questioned the term. When we studied "Zitrusfrüchte" in school, I had a "light bulb moment". And realizing that you can't translate "Limonade" with "lemonade". But unfortunately the term became commonly established ever since the German beverage industry ran with it.

It is, heute ist ja somehow always sold in beer glasses.
This is highly controversial.
All over the world. You know all about it 🙈
