Carrot Mimosa
Easter or any other spring time event is the perfect time to try a carrot mimosa. This new take on a classic cocktail is the perfect addition to any brunch, lunch or gathering.
Fresh carrot and orange juices are combined with Prosecco (or other sparkling white wine) and a splash of triple sec for an easy yet delicious cocktail that everyone will love. Perfect for special occasions or a relaxing afternoon, this carrot mimosa is sure to be a hit. So go ahead, mix it up and enjoy!
Ingredients
- ½ cup freshly squeezed carrot juice
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup Prosecco (or other sparkling white wine)
- 2 tablespoons triple Triple Sec
You could juice fresh carrots in a juicer but I found Bolthouse brand carrot juice at the grocery store and it was much easier. I had never tried carrot juice before and it is surprisingly tasty. It has a bit of an earthy taste. I like to mix the carrot juice with orange juice to make it a little sweeter and more citrusy.
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the carrot and orange juices.
- Slowly pour in the Prosecco, stirring gently until blended.
- Add the triple sec and stir to combine.
- Fill two glasses with ice cubes, then fill each glass half way with the mimosa mixture and top with a bit more Prosecco or sparkling white wine.
- Garnish with carrot greens, parsley or other herbs if desired.
What does a carrot mimosa taste like?It tastes pretty similar to a regular mimosa except the carrot adds a little bit of an earthy taste.
What ingredients can I substitute?If you don’t have Prosecco on hand you can use other sparkling white white or champagne. Triple sec can be substituted for Grand Marnier.
How do I make a non-alcoholic version of a carrot mimosa? Use sparkling apple juice instead of Prosecco and skip the Triple Sec altogether.
