Beetroot Juice
Beetroot juice brings an earthy sweetness and a vibrant color to the mix. 2oz is just the right amount to ensure its presence is felt without overpowering the drink. Use less and you'll miss the beat of the beet, use more, and it's a veggie fest in a glass.

Lemon Juice
The zesty 1oz of lemon juice is the acidic twist that brightens the cocktail, giving it a refreshing tang. Without it, you'd have a rather flat beet-vodka mash-up. Substituting with lime juice would bring a different kind of zesty flair.
Alex Green
Vodka
Ah, vodka - 1.5oz to provide the backbone of the cocktail without making you feel like you're on a Siberian adventure. Too much may lead to an overpowering alcohol presence; too little, and you're sipping beet lemonade. Gin could swap in for an herbaceous take.

Ice Cubes
Ice cubes serve as the chilling agents that make your Beetroot Bliss a cold treasure. It dilutes the mix slightly for a smoother sip and if you ditch the cubes, you're in for a room-temp roulette.
