Instructions

For the Beet Infused Vodka

  1. Mix grated beet and vodka in a 16 ounce glass jar.  Cover and shake. Store in the refrigerator 24-48 hours to allow vodka to infuse.

  1. In cocktail shaker, mix water, lemon juice and agave and shake well. Add vodka and fill shaker the rest of the way with ice.  Shake well for about 30 seconds and strain between 2 cocktail glasses filled with ice.

  2. Top each glass with an ounce of club soda and enjoy!

For a Pitcher of Lemonade

  1. In a large pitcher combine water, lemon juice and agave stir well.  This is a tart lemonade so if you prefer it sweeter, add more agave to taste.  

  2. Chill before serving and if desired, top with 1 cup of club soda for fizz. 

Recipe Notes

Beets can stain very easily - when working with beets I like to work on a parchment lined surface for easy clean-up and wash my hands right after handling them.
