Carrot Margaritas

Carrot Margaritas! Kick off spring and Cinco de Mayo with a seasonal carrot cocktail. This spring margarita features sweet carrot juice, fresh lime juice, ginger, and of course, tequila!

How do you make a carrot cocktail?

Making a carrot cocktail is easier than you may think. No need for any special equipment like a juicer or a blender. This carrot margarita uses bottled 100% carrot juice. Yes, I’m not juicing my own carrots for this, would you?

Using bottled juice makes this carrot cocktail stupid simple to whip up.

Here’s all you need to do to make these carrot margaritas:

1. Salt the rim of two rocks glasses; fill with ice.
2. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
3. Add carrot juice, tequila, liqueur (or syrup), and lime juice to shaker.
4. Secure lid on shaker and shake until chilled.
5. Strain carrot margarita into prepared glasses and garnish.
6. Enjoy!

Carrot Juice Vodka Cocktail

If you aren’t much of a tequila person, you can easily make a carrot cocktail using vodka.

Carrot Juice Vodka Cocktail ideas:

Ginger and Carrot Vodka Cooler

• Use vodka instead of tequila
• Swap the lime juice out for lemon juice

Carrot Moscow Mule

• Use vodka instead of tequila
• Swap ginger beer in for the ginger liqueur and use a bit more
• Add a dash of bitters

Spiced Carrot Martini

• Use vodka instead of tequila
• Leave out the lime juice
• Add a pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg

This carrot margarita was inspired by a carrot mimosa I enjoyed during brunch at Cafe Alma in Minneapolis. If you live in the Midwest, I highly recommend stopping by for brunch and sitting at the breakfast bar. The food is outstanding, as is the service, and the carrot mimosa is a must.
