Carrot Cocktail Recipe
Whoa — Would You Dare Try a Carrot Margarita?
The first time I heard about a magical carrot cocktail, it was hidden deep within a secret library bar at Rose. Rabbit. Lie., the supper club at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas. One sip, and I instantly understood the appeal. Carrots are an extremely versatile ingredient. The sweet-savory root pairs well with a lot of spirits and imparts an earthy flavor and stunning, beautiful color. If you're game to try a curiously crafted carrot cocktail, I recommend starting with the Jugo de Fuego cocktail (which translates to "Fire Juice") one of the select drinks from Los Angeles' edition of Cocktails in the City, a cool cocktail festival on a world tour right now.
