What To Serve With It
When I’m serving a Dirty Beet Martini, I love pairing it with small bites that complement its earthy, tangy flavors.
For appetizer pairings, I go for gourmet snacks like goat cheese crostini, topped with a drizzle of honey—it balances the drink’s boldness.
Smoked salmon on cucumber slices adds a invigorating crunch, while spiced nuts bring a salty kick.
If I’m feeling fancy, beetroot hummus with pita chips doubles down on the earthy vibe.
These combos make the martini shine without overpowering it. Trust me, your guests will keep reaching for more!
