Description
A gorgeous, healthful martini made with fresh beet, apple, and ginger juice. Make this at home with a blender and a strainer!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roasted beet
- 3/4 apple, cored and quartered
- 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and cut into quarters
- 10 fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 c water
- 3 oz simple syrup
- 6 oz vodka
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- Blend beet, apple, ginger, mint, and water together in a blender until puréed. Stop and scrape down sides of the blender as necessary.
- Strain the purée through a mesh sieve to remove the pulp, and reserve the pulp for another use. (I like to use the pulp in smoothies or mix into yogurt.)
- Combine the beet juice, simple syrup, and vodka in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well until the mixture is cold and strain into martini glasses. Add garnish of your choice.
