Ginger Beet Martini

serves one

​

Well….you do have to like beets…but if you do, this is a very unique cocktail! Just be very

careful because the beet juice will stain anything it touches!

​

2 ounces beet juice (I bought freshly squeezed from the juice bar)

2 ounces vodka

3/4 ounce ginger simple syrup*

1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice

Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice..shake, shake, shake! Strain into a martini glass.

 

Ginger Simple Syrup

3/4 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

3 slices of peeled fresh ginger

​

In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the water and sugar and stir to dissolve.

Remove from heat and add ginger pieces. Let steep for 30 minutes. Strain and store in fridge for

up to 2 weeks.
