Servings: 1
Equipment
- Vegetable peeler
Ingredients
- 1 oz Gin
- 1 oz Carrot juice
- 0.75 oz Lemon juice
- 0.75 oz Honey syrup*
- 3-4 oz Prosecco
- Carrot bunch with the stems still attached
- Lemon Wheel for garnish
*Honey Syrup:
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup warm water
- Add the honey and warm water to a bowl or jar. Stir (or shake) until fully combined and smooth. Let cool, then store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Instructions
- Wash your carrot bunch, including the tops. Cut off the leafy green tops and set them aside for garnish.
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave the carrots into long, thin ribbons. Gently thread each ribbon onto a cocktail pick in a back-and-forth motion, creating loose folds. Continue until the pick is filled and the carrots form a ruffled effect. Set aside for garnish.
- Cut your lemon in half, reserving one half for juice. Slice the other half into thin lemon wheels and set aside for garnish.
- Add gin, carrot juice, lemon juice, and honey syrup to a shaker. Add ice and shake until well chilled (10–12 seconds).
- Fill your glass of choice (we used a wine glass) with fresh ice. Strain the cocktail over the ice.
- Top with Prosecco and gently stir to combine.
- Garnish with a lemon wheel, the reserved carrot ribbon pick, and the carrot tops. Serve immediately and enjoy your Carrot Garden Spritz!
