Apfelschorle (German Apple Spritzer)

BecR's Note:

Apfelschorle is a simple, refreshing beverage made of equal parts apple juice and carbonated mineral water. Delicious and thirst-quenching! For variation you can mix equal parts Apfelschorle with white wine for a "Weinschorle", with beer for a "Apfel Berliner Weisse", or mix the apple juice with sparkling lemonade for a "Susser Schorle". Garnish with a slice of fresh lemon. Very popular in Germany and Europe.

You are right. It is very popular and it is so refreshing on a hot day. I always order Weinschorle, when I am back in Franken/Erlangen. It is often served in Southern Germany.
