Cocktails with Beetroot juice
Beetroot juice is a deep-red vegetable juice pressed from the root of the beet plant.
Taste profile
The aroma is earthy and mineral, leading into a sweet, faintly metallic body with a raw, root-vegetable finish.
How it's used
Added in small measures for colour and earthy sweetness, it stains a drink vivid crimson and is shaken or stirred into the build; a little goes a long way before the vegetal note dominates.
Description
Extracted by juicing or cold-pressing raw beetroot, it is intensely pigmented from betalain compounds and ranges from thin and watery to thick and pulpy depending on the fruit and method.
Storage
Fresh-pressed juice ferments and dulls quickly; refrigerate and use within a day or two.
