With the same flavor base as the Penicillin—lemon, ginger, and Scotch—this foundation of this drink is already a delicious antidote to a long, cold day. Adding a shot of beet juice just ups the curative ante.

No juicer? Alas, me either. But I had no problem getting a small cup of beet juice from the my local health food store.

Note: I use Black Bottle Islay Scotch here, a blended Scotch that's a great value, but still has nice smoke and spice.
