Instructions
  1. 1

    Prep the beets

    Peel and chop the beets into rough chunks. Wear gloves if you'd rather not have pink hands for the rest of the day — beet juice stains everything it touches.

  1. 2

    Blend it down

    Add the chopped beets, apple juice, and grated ginger to a blender. Pulse until completely smooth. The apple juice does two things here: it gives the blender enough liquid to work with, and it takes the earthy edge off the beets so the whole thing tastes bright instead of like dirt.

  2. 3

    Strain

    Line a colander with a couple layers of cheesecloth and set it over a big bowl. Pour the blended mixture through, then gather up the cheesecloth and squeeze to get every last drop. Discard the pulp (or save it for baking). Stir the fresh lemon juice into the strained juice.

  3. 4

    Serve fresh

    Pour over ice and garnish with a lemon or orange wedge. Drink it the day you make it — fresh juice is best within a day or two.

Notes & Tips

This one's a 10 if you like beets and a solid 8 if you're still on the fence about them. The apple juice and ginger are doing real work — they turn what could taste like drinking a garden into something bright, sweet, and a little zingy. Gorgeous ruby color, too. Use apple juice (not water) for the best flavor, and don't skip the lemon at the end; it wakes everything up.
