Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium fresh carrots
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 4 leaves mint leaves
- 1 slice orange slice (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots. Cut them into small chunks for easier blending.
Grate the ginger or cut into small pieces if blending directly.
In a blender, combine the carrot chunks, grated ginger, orange juice, lime juice, honey, and cold water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well-combined.
Using a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag, strain the mixture into a pitcher or bowl to remove pulp. Press with a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
Fill two glasses with ice cubes and pour the strained juice evenly between the glasses.
Garnish each glass with a mint leaf and an orange slice for a sunny presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Sunshine Carrot Cocktail!
