And just like the movie, the Beetlejuice cocktail is guaranteed to add some life to your next party!
What Makes This Drink So Special?
This cocktail is all about the flavor explosion: the sweet and earthy beet juice blends perfectly with the tart lime juice and the crispness of the prosecco. It's light, refreshing, and the vibrant, almost neon color is perfect for a spooky Halloween party or a vibrant summer get-together.
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1.5 oz vodka (we recommend a good quality vodka for the best taste)
- 1 oz fresh beet juice (you can make it yourself or grab a pre-made bottle)
- 0.5 oz fresh lime juice (freshly squeezed is always best!)
- 3 oz prosecco (the bubbly stuff!)
- Optional: A lime wedge for garnish, a pinch of beet powder for a spooky touch
Putting It All Together:
- Get your shaker ready! Combine the vodka, beet juice, and lime juice in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Shake it like you mean it! Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the shaker is nice and frosty.
- Strain it up! Strain the mixture into a chilled champagne flute.
- Top it off! Carefully pour the prosecco on top of the cocktail mix.
- Get spooky! Garnish with a lime wedge and a pinch of beet powder, if you're feeling extra festive.
