beetroot juice anyone??

Saw and bought this from one of the Polish shops in Mallow. Only €1.50 or €1.20 if you spend over €20.
Had a glass tastes bad, way too sweet. Maybe a bit of lemon juice or something sour to make it bit more drinkable.
What do you guys think?


My Polish is not good so some text from the box translated with mr. Google himself:

today tested with 300ml beet juice + 200ml grapefruit juice and it is much more drinkable. It might be also that beet juice was in the fridge and properly cold now.
Will test again with lemon juice tomorrow.



Grapefruit juice was with bits so it looks like jug of blood with bone and brain bits

I do my own recipe.

Blend a couple of cooked beetroot, (Tesco or LIDL, very reasonably priced).
Add a glass of apple juice.
Add a SMALL sprinkle of Cayenne Chilli pepper.
Blend.

Chill overnight and enjoy before you ride.
