Ingredients You'll Need

Carrot Cake Margarita

For the Margarita:

• 1 1/2 oz Tequila

• 1 oz Pineapple Soda (I recommend using @drinkspindrift for a refreshing twist)

• 1/2 oz Orange Liqueur

• 1 oz Lime Juice

• 1 1/4 oz Carrot Juice

• 1/2 oz Ginger Simple Syrup

• A pinch of salt

For the Cream Topping:

• 2 oz Heavy Whipping Cream

• 1/2 oz Walnut Simple Syrup

• Walnut shavings for garnish

• Greens from a carrot for garnish

Crafting Your Carrot Cake Margarita

1. Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, pineapple soda, orange liqueur, lime juice, carrot juice, ginger simple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Add ice and shake vigorously to mix the flavors well.

2. Pour and Prepare: Strain the mixture into a medium-sized glass filled with fresh ice, leaving a little room at the top for the cream.

3. Create the Cream Topping: Froth together heavy whipping cream and walnut simple syrup until thick. This will create a luscious, creamy topping reminiscent of frosting on a carrot cake.

4. Assemble and Garnish: Gently pour the cream mixture over your margarita. Top with walnut shavings and a sprig of carrot greens for an elegant finish.
