Key Benefit: A refreshing, functional alternative to soda with a balanced, natural sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz 25% RUBY Beet Syrup: A perfect middle ground of earthy beet nutrients and light, natural sweetness.
• 8 oz Elderflower Sparkling Water: Provides a sophisticated floral note without the heavy sugar of tonic water.
• 3-4 Fresh Mint Leaves: For a cooling, aromatic finish.
• Thin Cucumber Ribbons: To add a crisp, refreshing garden profile.
• Ice Cubes: Preferably large, clear cubes to keep the drink chilled without rapid dilution.

Instructions

1. Prep the Glass: Place the cucumber ribbons against the inside wall of a large wine glass or highball glass and fill with ice.
2. Infuse: Slap the mint leaves between your palms to release the oils and drop them into the glass.
3. Pour: Add the 25% RUBY Beet Syrup over the ice.
4. Top & Stir: Top with the elderflower sparkling water. Use a long spoon to stir gently from the bottom up, creating a beautiful gradient of ruby red.
5. Garnish: Finish with an extra sprig of mint and a squeeze of lemon if desired.
