Method
- Step 1
Add simple syrup, beetroot juice, lime juice, and white rum to an ice-filled cocktail shaker to begin cooling the mixture.
- Step 2
Shake hard for about 10 seconds, tightly closing the shaker to mix thoroughly and create a well-balanced aerated texture.

Garnish with a rimmed lime wheel, and serve immediately to preserve the freshness and appearance of the cocktail.
Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
Use homemade beetroot syrup by cooking the vegetable juice with sugar; it provides a sweeter, more uniform flavour than raw beet juice on its own.
Preparation Tip 2
Use a light-bodied, unaged white rum; aged or spiced rums influence the drink's flavour profile and clash with the beet's earthiness.
