Pro tips

  • This juice makes a great Bloody Mary cold-pressed cocktail base.

  • Looking for something a tad more salty? Try adding more celery.

  • Wanting to add more of a kick? Try adding cayenne pepper, hot sauce, black pepper, or jalapeno.

  • Prefer something a bit more acidic? Add some lemon juice!

  • How about something a little more smoky or tangy? Worcestershire sauce to the rescue!

  • Try adding more greens, (like lettuce or more watercress), making sure you avoid ones that will throw off the taste balance too much.

  • Leave the stems on the leafy greens – they typically contain a lot of flavor and juice. Coming from the farm, leafy greens usually have the most dirt on the leaves and need to be thoroughly washed.

  • Remove the beet top ends and clean the bottoms thoroughly. If they are small in size, remove the bottom skinny part as well.
