Happy Hour: Roasted Beet Cocktail

Wood-fired fare is a specialty of the bar and kitchen at Campfire (@campfirerestaurant) in Carlsbad, California, and in this beet cocktail, head bartender Leigh Lacap gives roasted beets a quick char prior to infusing them in gin.

2 oz. roasted beet-infused gin
½ oz. honey syrup (3:1 honey to water)
¼ oz. ginger syrup (3:2 fine sugar to juiced ginger root)
¾ oz. fresh lemon juice
Tools: shaker, strainer
Glass: rocks
Garnish: thyme sprig

Add all the ingredients to a shaker and shake with ice to chill. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice. Garnish.
