1
Prepare Beets
Wash and peel the beets, then cut them into small cubes.
2
Infuse the Gin
Place the beet cubes in a jar and pour the gin over them. Seal the jar and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for 3-5 days, shaking gently every day.
3
Strain the Gin
After the infusion period, strain the gin through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the beets. Store the infused gin in a clean bottle.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine honey and water.
5
Heat Mixture
Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring until the honey is fully dissolved.
6
Add Sea Salt
Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt until fully incorporated. Allow to cool before using.

7
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of the beet-infused gin, 1 oz of salted honey syrup, and 1 oz of fresh lemon juice.
8
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
9
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a sprinkle of bee pollen on top.
