Directions
1. Mix the beet juice, carrot juice, honey, and gin together and pour over two glasses filled with ice, or keep in the refrigerator in a pitcher.
2. Top off with soda water and serve immediately
Note: If you don’t have a juicer, cut the beets and carrot into dices then puree with a blender. Add about 3/4 cup water then filter through a fine mesh strainer. It’s better to juice the vegetables separately so you can adjust the juices based on how strong you want your beet flavor and carrot flavor.
