Ginger beer is the slightly spicy and super fizzy addition to a Moscow Mule but if you’re looking to cut down that intensity, the carrot is there to help. That’s right, carrot juice isn’t just something beloved by cartoon bunnies, it’s a nutritious cocktail mixer too. When carrot juice, ginger beer, vodka, and bitters meet, your mule turns a little sweeter, brighter, and carries an Earthy undertone. Overall it rounds out your cocktail to bring out a bit of every ingredient.
Plus, you can always leave out the vodka and enjoy a non-alcoholic version that’s accessible to all.
Can You Make Your Own Carrot Juice at Home?
Making carrot juice at home is more simple than you think and you don’t have to have a juicer either. Start by washing and scrubbing fresh carrots thoroughly. Peeling your carrots is optional as long as they’re clean. Chop the carrots into smaller pieces to make blending or juicing easier. If you have a juicer, just feed the pieces through and collect the juice. If you’re using a blender, add the chopped carrots with a little water and then blend until smooth. Just be sure to carefully strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
