Do you ever use alcohol, and if you do, do you think some of your vegetable juices would make good mixers?
May sound daft, but tomato, celery and chilli are all used for a bloody mary, and the sweetness of many veg, carrots and beetroot being the most obvious, strike me as possibilities for healthier ways to get rat-faced!

I don't drink alcohol, but you are right, most would make a good alcohol mix. I add nothing hence most plant vegetable juice have a common taste. I don't Americanize any mixture by adding sugar or salt, I call it Injun Cooking.
