Spiced Beet & Apple Cider Punch

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Drinks
Earthy beet and crisp apple are a culinary match made in heaven. In this drink, the beet's deep, sweet profile grounds the spicy cider, while painting the glass a magical crimson. Don't fear the beet: alongside spices and orange, it loses its 'vegetable' edge, becoming a rich, fruity punch experience.

Recipe FAQ

Pre-cooked beets?
Yes, but raw has fresher flavor and color. Cook less if using pre-cooked.

Add more orange juice or lemon; acid neutralizes earthy notes.
