Prepare the carrots: Wash, peel, and trim the carrots. Cut into pieces small enough to fit through your juicer.
Juice the carrots: Feed the carrot pieces through a juicer and collect the fresh carrot juice in a container.
Prepare the citrus: Peel the lemon and orange, removing as much of the white pith as possible to avoid bitterness.
Juice the citrus: Juice the lemon and orange using a citrus juicer or by hand.
Strain the juices: Pour the citrus juice through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any pulp or seeds. This will create a smoother final drink.
Muddle the mint: Place 3-4 mint leaves in the bottom of a glass and gently muddle (press with a muddler or the back of a spoon) to release the oils and aroma.
Combine the juices: Pour the carrot juice and strained citrus juices over the muddled mint in the glass. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
Garnish: Add a fresh sprig of mint or cilantro and a slice of orange or lemon to the rim of the glass.
Serving Options
For a spritzer: Top with chilled sparkling water and add ice if desired
For straight juice: Serve as is for a more concentrated flavor
For a cocktail: Add 1.5 oz (45ml) of vodka, gin, or white rum
Tips
For best flavor, serve immediately while fresh
If making ahead, store the juice mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours
For a sweeter drink, add a small amount of honey or agave syrup
For an extra refreshing twist, add a few thin slices of cucumber
