Editor’s Note / Jay infuses 1 medium ruby beet, chopped, in 1 750 mL bottle held at 135 degrees in an immersion circulator for 4 hours, but you can use a large stockpot and a candy thermometer to replicate his method. If not, simply place beets in the moonshine bottle and keep in a warm place for about a week, shaking daily.
