This rich, fun, and sophisticated concoction was inspired by our 3:15 Beet Down and Beetnick cocktails. Now we love beet juice with gin because its fresh sourness pairs well with the fragrant botanicals and complexity of that spirit. Well, it didn’t take long to realize that it does the same for a nice bourbon. We prefer a higher-proof or cask-strength spirit in this cocktail, which will meld nicely with the juice and syrup and create a very complex and delicious drink. Enjoy!
