Notes

  • Use young, fresh carrots for the sweetest flavor.
  • Avoid “juicing carrots” sold in bulk bags — they tend to be less sweet.
  • Add a squeeze of citrus to brighten the flavor or a splash of Guinness or rum for a classic punch twist.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Shake or stir before serving.
