Serving Size 1

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker: I use this to mix the carrot juice, lime, and vodka.
• Fine mesh strainer: This helps remove pulp from the fresh juices.
• Jigger or measuring cup: I measure all liquids for accuracy.
• Bar spoon: Used for gentle stirring.
• Mule mug or glass: The drink stays colder in a copper mug, but any glass works.
• Citrus juicer: Fresh lime juice tastes best, so I squeeze my own.
• Ice: I fill my mug to the top for extra chill.

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka
• 1.5 oz fresh carrot juice
• 0.5 oz fresh lime juice
• 3 oz ginger beer
• Ice enough to fill the mug
• Garnish: Lime wheel carrot ribbon, or fresh mint

Instructions

• Fill the mule mug or glass with ice.
• In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, fresh carrot juice, and lime juice.
• Shake well for about 10 seconds to mix and chill.
• Strain the mixture into the prepared mug over the ice.
• Top with ginger beer.
• Stir gently with a bar spoon to combine.
• Garnish with a lime wheel, carrot ribbon, or mint sprig if desired.

Notes

Using cold ingredients makes sure the cocktail doesn’t get diluted. If I don’t have fresh carrot juice, I use a good quality bottled version, but the flavor is best when freshly juiced.

Some ginger beers are sweeter than others. I taste and adjust with a squeeze more lime if it’s too sweet for me.

For a non-alcoholic version, I skip the vodka and use more ginger beer. I sometimes add a pinch of ground ginger to boost the spice.

I clean my tools right after making the drink to avoid stains from the carrot juice.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip of the Carrot Ginger Mule, I notice a gentle sweetness from the carrot juice. It tastes fresh and light, not too sugary.

The ginger beer brings a strong, spicy kick. The heat lingers on my tongue but doesn’t overpower the drink.

I also get a hint of citrus from the lime juice, which brightens up each sip. The acidity balances the natural earthiness from the carrot.

The color is a rich, orange shade. It makes the drink look inviting and lively.

Substitute

If I don’t have fresh carrot juice, I use bottled carrot juice from the store. I make sure it’s 100% carrot juice with no added sugar.

Sometimes, ginger beer is not available. I substitute it with ginger ale or sparkling water mixed with a little grated fresh ginger for flavor.

If I want a non-alcoholic version, I simply leave out the vodka. The taste is still bright and refreshing.

Equipment

• Measuring jigger
• Cocktail shaker
• Fine strainer
• Glass (Mule mug or highball)

Ingredients

• Bottled carrot juice (if no fresh juice)
• Ginger ale or sparkling water + fresh ginger (if no ginger beer)
• Vodka (or skip for mocktail)
• Lime or lemon juice

Instructions

• Pour carrot juice into the shaker. Add vodka if you’re feeling it, and toss in some lime or lemon juice.
• Next up, add ginger ale. Or, if you’re in the mood for a little kick, go for sparkling water mixed with grated ginger instead of ginger beer.
• Give it a good shake or a solid stir. Up to you, really.
• Strain everything into a glass packed with ice. Enjoy the moment.
