Cocktail O’Clock: Just Beet It

ES called beets in cocktails the next big thing way back in 2010, and sure ‘nough we are seeing them show up on drink lists coast to coast.

This one, from Poste Moderne Brasserie in Washington, DC, mixes up beets for martini lovers.

Just Beet it

1/2 oz. Grey Goose vodka
1/4 oz. lemon juice
1/4 oz. beet juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup

Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass with a beet salt garnish.

    If you’re curious, I made a cocktail with moonshine and beet juice and brandy, based on the “shrub” category of cocktails:

    Tiffany (I forget her last name) when she was at PS7 had a cocktail similar to this called the Bolshevik- it was beet infused vodka with fresh lime juice and (I think) a touch of simple syrup. So. Good.
