A Beverage You Cannot … Beet

Posted on June 21, 2017 by Ryan B.

Beets are great ! Roast them, pickle them, turn them into slaw, or if you find yourself tired of the same old beet recipes, perhaps try drinking them? While I typically don’t reach for a fancy drink when i choose to imbibe, this Beetnik Martini really appealed to me flavor wise. Ginger, beets, vodka, whats not to love? Though, I haven’t tried this recipe with golden or chioggia beets, I imagine the results would be similar, though the color will obviously be different.

Beetnik Martini

Ingredients

Vodka And Syrup

  • 6 medium red beets (about 2½ lb.), scrubbed, trimmed
  • 1 750-ml bottle vodka
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoon grated peeled ginger

Assembly

  • 3 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 3 oz. fresh lime juice
  • 12 slices lemon slices

Preparation

Vodka and Syrup

Cook beets in a large saucepan of boiling water until tender, 1–1¼ hours. Drain; let cool slightly. Peel and slice. Combine warm beets and vodka in a large 1½-qt. jar (save vodka bottle to store finished product). Cover; chill for at least 5 days and up to 1 week. Strain into a medium bowl; discard beets. Pour beet vodka back into reserved bottle. Cover and chill.

Bring sugar, ginger, and ¾ cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Let cool. Strain ginger syrup into a medium jar; discard ginger. Cover and chill. Beet vodka and ginger syrup can be made 1 month ahead. Keep chilled separately.

Assembly For each cocktail, combine 2 oz. beet vodka, ½ oz. ginger syrup, ¼ oz. lemon juice, and ¼ oz. lime juice in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until cocktail shaker is very cold. Strain drink into a coupe or Martini glass. Float a lemon slice on top.
