Instructions

  • First we are going to start by roasting the beet. Roast it at 425 degrees F for about 50 minutes along with the olive oil, thyme and bay leaf. You want it to be very tender when done, so that a knife slides in and out of it easily.

  • Now we are going to make our carrot puree. Start by peeling the carrots and then dicing them. Cook them in enough water to cover with the tablespoon of sugar until they are quite tender.
    Chopping Carrots 1
  • Puree the boiled carrots and the roasted beet along with just enough of the carrot-water so that the mixture is smooth. Run it through a sieve before using it in the cocktail. We don’t want any chunks in there.
