Carrot juice is good for you, full of minerals and vitamins and so on. So why not ruin it by adding alcohol? DIY Cocktails and I thought that sounded like a good idea, so we ground up some carrots and made a cocktail out of their juice.
With ginger liqueur, gin, and a touch of cinnamon on top, this drink is almost like drinking a piece of carrot cake.
This could be a good alternative for brunch cocktails like the mimosa and the Bloody Mary.
The recipe:
What’s Up, Doc? Cocktail
(Makes one cocktail)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 oz carrot juice (fresh is ideal, but you can also buy carrot juice at health food stores)
1 1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz ginger liqueur
Ice
Cinnamon to top (optional)
Directions:
Combine carrot juice, gin, and ginger liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Shake thoroughly. Put a few cubes of ice in a glass and strain the drink over the ice. If you want, add a slight touch of cinnamon on top. Enjoy!
This cocktail looks amazing. I only started drinking last year, so I’m making up for lost time by exploring classic/interesting booze. Thanks for inventing it. Here’s a link to my post about your drink!
