With their earthy flavor and concentrated color, beets don't usually imply delicacy. This cocktail is an exception. Infusing cooked beets into gin dilutes their intensity, and a little juniper tonic makes sure they stay lifted.
Ingredients
- 2 cups beets, cubed
- 375ml gin
- 4 oz Navy Hill Juniper Tonic
- ¾ oz fresh lime juice
- 1 oz Mommenpop Makrut Limepop or homemade lime liqueur
- Lime wedge, for garnish
Preparation
- Fill a collins glass half full with ice. In a shaker filled with ice, combine 2 oz of the beet-infused gin, the lime juice, and the lime liqueur. Stir until well-chilled.
- Strain into the readied glass. Top with the juniper tonic and garnish with a lime wedge.
