Usage tips
Word composition
'Apfelsaft' (apple juice) is a simple compound made up of 'der Apfel' (the apple) and 'der Saft' (the juice). The structure '[fruit] + saft' is very common in German, for example in 'Orangensaft' (orange juice) or 'Kirschsaft' (cherry juice).
EXAMPLE
Dieser Apfelsaft schmeckt sehr frisch.
This apple juice tastes very fresh.
Typical combination: Schorle
A very common and popular variation is 'Apfelsaftschorle' (apple juice spritzer). This is apple juice mixed with mineral water, usually sparkling.
EXAMPLE
Im Sommer trinke ich am liebsten eine kalte Apfelsaftschorle.
In summer, my favorite thing to drink is a cold apple juice spritzer.
Important distinction
When buying or ordering apple juice, the distinction between 'klar' (clear) and 'naturtrüb' (naturally cloudy) is common. Naturally cloudy apple juice still contains fruit pulp and is not filtered.
EXAMPLE
Ich bevorzuge naturtrüben Apfelsaft, weil er intensiver schmeckt.
I prefer naturally cloudy apple juice because it tastes more intense.
