Poke a cocktail skewer through each beet, which creates the effect of dripping blood. Ingredients 2 ounces dry vermouth 8 ounces premium gin Ice cubes 4 Pickled Baby Beets, each placed on a cocktail skewer Directions Chill 4 martini glasses in the freezer or fill with ice water and let sit until frosty, about 5 minutes (pour out water).
