Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Wrap peeled and halved beets in foil and roast until tender, 45 minutes. Remove from oven, open foil, and set aside to cool. In a blender or food processor, blend beets, tomato juice, pepperoncini juice, lemon juice, freshly ground pepper, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, and ground garlic until smooth.
2. Step 2Fill each of 4 glasses with ice and 1 1/2 ounces chilled vodka. Top each with beet mixture, and garnish with a stick of celery (we used the leafy hearts) and a cocktail spear threaded with a cocktail onion and a pepperoncini.
