1/2 ounce lime juice
Fever Tree Ginger Beer
Directions:
1. Stir the first three ingredients with crushed ice and top with the ginger beer.

HOW TO MAKE BEET GASTRIQUE:
Roast three to four beets. Let them cool and peel them. Cut them into cubes and toss them into a pan along with 2 cups of sherry vinegar and 1 cup of sauvignon blanc. Simmer until the beets are a deep red color, then add 3 to 4 tablespoons of brown sugar. Simmer for a few more minutes, then remove from heat and let the beets cool. Blend the mixture.
