After a long hard day at work, my husband and I were desperate for some tasty beverages. As I don´t drink alcohol, I turn to my juicer for my delicious concoctions. I make all sorts of juices in a wide rainbow of colors, and I´m always discovering new yummy combinations. An old favorite is the one I made tonight, which seemed spicier than usual as I may have added a wee bit too much ginger - hence the new Red Hot name I just came up with. The hotness was a welcome surprise though, and I think I´ll try this more often! The spicy kick from the ginger almost reminded me of that slight burning sensation in the throat that I used to get when I took a sip of alcohol, which felt very appropriate for cocktail hour. The beets gave the drink a beautifully rich, blood red wine like color. The carrots and apple added sweetness and rounded out the drink.
Red Hot Cocktails (Serves 2)
2 beets
7 medium carrots
1/4 knob of fresh ginger
