This carrot margarita is the perfect Easter Cocktail! Trust me when I say, this is delicious and refreshing! It’s a brightly colored brunch cocktail that is packed with fresh juice, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!
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!

A Fresh Juice, Orange Colored Cocktail
This is such a vibrantly colored cocktail! The carrot juice mixes so well with the citrus of the orange and the lime juice. The jalapeno tequila is the special sauce here, providing a lovely touch of heat!
The Perfect Easter Brunch Cocktail
For a long, long time Bloody Mary’s and Mimosas have held the top spot for brunch cocktails. But this is a new contender in my books! With it’s zesty flavors and refreshing carrot kick, this is a great alternative to the classics.
A Healthy (ish) Cocktail
Ok, so not pretending this should replace your protein shakes and such BUT it is packed with beta-carotene from the carrot juice. Beta carotene is good for your eyes, skin and immune system. So this is healthy…ish!
