His & Hers Summer Cocktails

recipes, snacks

One of my favorite places that we visited in Denver Colorado was, Root Down. Root Down is this incredible restaurant in the Highland/ LoHi neighborhood. (Locals, bear with me) I will talk more about our experience there in a future post recapping our entire trip! But for now, these drinks! We had these drinks at Root Down and well, we just about fell off our chairs. I enjoy that they are speciality drinks, but to me, very different.

Graham ordered the “Coconut Ginger Fizz” and I ordered the “Beet Down”. I loved them so much, I had to try to recreate them at home. I feel as though I did a fairly good job, but they do taste different. Delicious and different!

These drinks are great for after dinner or a special summer treat on the weekend on a deck or patio. If you own a juicer, I recommend freshly juicing your ginger and beets. If you do not own a juicer, there are plenty of great options at local health foods stores. Yes, even the ginger juice – game changer!

  1. Not sure what 2 of the ingredients in the beet drink are, but they look delish!

    1. Patty, yes I did not either until I did some research, both are amazing! Domaine De Canton is a ginger-flavored liqueur and Aperol is an Italian aperitif made of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb and other flavorful ingredients. Aperol was turned onto to me be a good friend and she likes to mix it with sparkling wine and ice. Yum!

  2. I don’t know which I would like more 🙂 I may opt for this “his” since I am obsessed with coconut!

    1. Andrea, yes the “his” is amazing as well. I find that the Coco-bomb Gin Fizz is more of a one hit wonder for me.. 😉 HA!

    These are both delicious. We’ve made them on separate occasions before but recently hosted a party with both options available. What a memorable combination! Everyone loved them.

  7. 5 stars
    We have made these with and without the alcohol. Fantastic drinks for any occasion.
