Orange Beet Breeze Summer Cocktail

Drink your fruits and veggies! This orange beet breeze is the perfect summertime cocktail!

This cocktail has an usual ingredient and it’s gorgeous jewel tone color may give it away. Can you guess what it is? If you didn’t already read the post title, here’s a hint—it’s one of those vegetables you either love (or love to hate) and it makes your fingers bright pink when you peel it. Any guesses?

It’s beets! I’ve created a summertime cocktail that’s made with Natalie’s Orange Beet Juice. Now before you turn up your nose at the thought of putting veggies in your cocktail, let me tell you how delicious this stuff is. This juice is super fresh and made with only beets and orange juice. Nothing else! It’s super versatile and can be used in salad dressings and beverages like this one. So the next time your doctor asks if you’re getting all your fruits and veggies in you can now tell him yes!

Natalie's orange beet juice is is a healthy dose of fruits and veggies and makes a great base for cocktails.

Orange Beet Breezemakes 4 servings

Ingredients
– 1 cup Natalie’s Orange Beet Juice
– 3/4 cup coconut rum
– 1 1/5 cups pineapple juice
– large ice cubes
– fresh pineapple wedges and orange peel, for garnish
– 4 old fashioned glasses

Step 1: Reduce the orange beet juice into a syrup. Pour juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until reduced to about half. Remove from heat and allow the juice to cool completely.

Step 2: Pour 1 oz of the orange beet syrup and 1.5 oz of the coconut rum to each glass. Place large ice cubes in the glasses and top with pineapple juice (about 3 oz. per glass). Garnish with a piece of pineapple and an orange peel. Cheers!

The orange beet reduction has a sweet flavor thanks to the beets and citrus and can be used in other cocktails that call for sweet red syrups, like grenadine, which is traditionally made from pomegranates. Just keep it in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Cannot wait to try this orange beet cocktail! Who knew beets could be used to make a delicious summertime cocktail!

Orange, beets and pineapple juice get a tropical twist when combined with coconut rum for this summer time cocktail.

    Okay, the beet juice has me so skeptical but intrigued at the same time. I don’t know that I can find that juice around me, but I may have to give it a try. Beets are so good for you!

      I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical at first too! It’s absolutely delicious in this cocktail and makes a great base for salad dressings. Check out Natalie’s site to see if it’s available near you.
