British beetroots are good for us - they're a 'super food', so I've been told. They contain betalins and are nutritious, even if they're not everyone's favourite vegetable.

So, as seen on The One Show, the recipe for, um, alcoholic beetroot cocktail is as follows:

Ingredients
1 small uncooked beetroot, peeled, cut into cubes
½ lime, juice only
25ml/1fl oz gold tequila
12ml/½fl oz orange liqueur
12ml/½fl oz dark chocolate liqueur
25ml/1fl oz beetroot juice
1 tsp sugar syrup (also known as 'gomme' syrup)
salt, for dipping

Method
1. Place the beetroot into a cocktail shaker and mash (muddle) with the end of a clean rolling pin.
2. Add the lime, tequila, orange liqueur, dark chocolate liqueur, beetroot juice and sugar syrup, top up with ice and shake well.
3. Wet the rim of a glass, then dip into a plate covered in salt to coat the rim.
4. Strain the cocktail into a glass and serve.
