Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka
  • 1 oz beet juice fresh or cold-pressed
  • 0.75 oz lemon juice
  • 6 mint leaves
  • 3 oz Prosecco to top
  • Garnish: mint sprig and lemon twist

Instructions

  • Add vodka, beet juice, lemon juice, and mint leaves to a shaker filled with ice.
  • Shake thoroughly until chilled, about 15 seconds.
  • Double-strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
  • Top with Prosecco.
  • Garnish with a mint sprig and a twist of lemon.

Notes

Pro Tips

  • Smack the mint leaves lightly in your hand before adding them to release oils without bitterness.
  • Fresh beet juice adds brightness, but store-bought cold-pressed varieties also work well.
  • For a lower-alcohol version, reduce the vodka to 1 oz and add more Prosecco.
