Made this for the full Oktoberfest menu and it was great. Was a bit worried about the apple but all the flavors blended well. Only thing was it needed a little something to bind it together so used a yogurt base with some flavorings and it worked great. Would make again, everyone loved it. It all went and the cucumber base makes it.
