This Carrot Margarita recipe was inspired by the cocktail served at Flora Farm in Cabo San Lucas. I thought there is no way a margarita made with carrot juice can taste good…can’t happen. But I was shocked at how refreshing and delicious a carrot margarita is! The unique combination of carrot juice, lime, orange and jalapeño tequila blend very well together. It’s also nice to know that as I’m sipping this, my body is rejoicing with all of the beta-carotene. If this is how I have to get my carrot juice for the week, then so be it. I must say, it’s one charming cocktail for Easter brunch!
Carrot Margarita Recipe
4 ounces fresh carrot juice
2 ounces Jalapeño Tequila (we used Tanteo)
1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
1 ounce fresh juice from a lime
1/2 ounce fresh juice from an orange
Directions
If you have a juicer at home, make fresh carrot juice. If not, you can buy fresh-squeezed carrot juice from Whole Foods or a local grocery store.
Add all of the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake until combined.
Salt the rim of a glass and add one large ice cube.
Strain the cocktail over the ice. Serve with lime if you desire.
I heard about this and have been wanting to try. Not a bad idea for Easter weekend!!!
Thanks Skye!
This is an amazing idea! We have a lilac margarita and I feel like I want to search the web for all sorts of amazing margarita alternatives now. I can’t WAIT to try this one out, esp since I have been juicing carrots on nearly a daily basis.
I’m so happy you like this idea Anna! It’s surprising really tasty!! A lilac margarita sounds amazing and funny enough I have a bouquet of lilacs in my living room right now!! I’ll have to check it out 🙂
[…] think I’ll stick with a peach and pale pink palette for my Easter Centerpiece. I think these Carrot Margaritas would be perfect for Easter brunch. Although, the design intrigues me I appreciate it in small […]
