Ingredients

2 large carrots peeled and chopped
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 inch fresh ginger peeled
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup coconut water
Ice cubes
Orange slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

Juice the carrots and ginger in a juicer. If using a blender, blend them with 1/4 cup water and strain through a fine-mesh strainer.

Pour the carrot-ginger juice into a cocktail shaker.
Add orange juice, honey, and coconut water to the shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake for 30 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

Strain the mixture into ice-filled glasses.
Garnish with orange slices and mint leaves.

Notes

The drink stays fresh in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Store it without ice in an airtight container.

Double strain the mixture if you want a smoother texture.

For extra sweetness, adjust the honey to taste. Replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.

Add a splash of sparkling water just before serving for a fizzy twist.

Tasting Notes

This vibrant mocktail offers a perfect mix of sweet and earthy flavors. The natural sweetness of carrots blends smoothly with fresh orange juice and a touch of honey.

Primary Flavors:

Sweet carrot
Bright citrus
Subtle honey
Gentle ginger spice

The drink starts with a crisp, cool sensation followed by waves of carrot and orange. A mild ginger warmth appears at the finish, making it refreshing yet comforting.

The texture is light and smooth, with tiny bubbles from the sparkling water adding a pleasant fizz. Each sip brings a clean, natural taste without any artificial sweetness.

A hint of lemon adds the right amount of tartness to balance the sweet elements. The drink leaves a gentle, sweet aftertaste that doesn’t linger too long.

This mocktail works well as both a morning drink and an afternoon refresher. Its natural ingredients create a taste that feels both familiar and special.

Best Served:

Temperature: Very cold
Glass: Tall collins

Substitute

The Sweet Carrot Cooler can be made with different ingredients if carrots aren’t available. Fresh orange juice makes a tasty swap. It brings a similar bright color and natural sweetness.

For those who want to skip ginger, cinnamon adds a nice spice note. Ground cinnamon works too. Just use 1/4 teaspoon per drink.

The honey can be replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar. Use equal amounts for the same level of sweetness.

Alternative Base Options:

Apple juice
Mango nectar
Peach puree
Pineapple juice

The sparkling water can be swapped for:

No mint leaves? Try these garnishes instead:

Orange slices
Lemon wedges

Rosemary sprigs

The ice can be regular cubes or crushed ice. For extra flair, freeze small pieces of fruit in the ice cubes before making the drink.
