Combine all ingredients except club soda in a shaker with ice. Shake to chill, double-strain into a Collins glass over fresh ice. Top with club soda and garnish.

Editor's Note

Aquavit meets roasted beet in this earthy, high-concept highball. Fennel and ginger syrup provide a bright, aromatic counterpoint that keeps the profile refreshing.
