  • 2 oz fresh carrot juice about 2-3 medium carrots

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Juice the Carrots: If you have a juicer, go ahead and juice the fresh carrots. If you don’t, you can grate the carrots and then strain them through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice. You’ll need about 2 oz of fresh juice.
  • Prepare the Cocktail Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. This will chill your cocktail and dilute it slightly, which is essential for the best flavor.
  • Combine the Ingredients: Pour the fresh carrot juice, vodka, dry vermouth, and simple syrup into the shaker. The vermouth adds a lovely herbal note that complements the sweetness of the carrot.
  • Shake It Up: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want everything well mixed and chilled.
  • Strain and Serve: Use a strainer to pour the cocktail into chilled martini glasses. This helps keep any pulp or ice out of your drink.
  • Garnish: Add a sprig of fresh dill or a ribbon of carrot for a beautiful garnish.
  • Enjoy: Take a moment to admire your creation, then sip and enjoy the refreshing taste!
  • Variations
  • Carrot Ginger Martini: Add a splash of ginger juice for a zesty kick.
  • Spicy Carrot Martini: Muddle some jalapeño slices in the shaker before adding the other ingredients for a spicy twist.
  • Herbal Infusion: Experiment with other herbs like thyme or basil in place of dill.
