    Carrot Moscow Mule Cocktail

    A refreshing Carrot Moscow Mule - carrot juice gives a delicious twist to the classic vodka cocktail. #springcocktail #mothersday #carrotjuice #moscowmule #cocktail

    This Carrot Moscow Mule is a vegetable twist on the classic cocktail! And hey, adding carrot juice means it's practically like drinking salad, right?

    A glass of Carrot Moscow Mule cocktail - vodka, carrot juice, ginger ale and lime.

    Commissioned by TheBar

    Carrot Moscow Mule

    The classic Moscow Mule includes vodka, ginger beer, lime juice and ice in a tall glass. But I wanted to create a Moscow Mule with a twist.

    I was thinking about what works well with the ginger and lime flavours and instantly thought that fresh carrot juice would be perfect - and it is!

    Carrot juice has long been my go-to hangover cure, so I love adding it straight into the cocktail.

    It makes it feel a little more virtuous and a bit less naughty. It also makes it wonderfully bright orange in colour!

    The subtle natural sweetness of the carrot juice works well with the ginger and lime. The ginger ale's heat is toned down a little by the carrot juice, and then enlivened with the tart lime juice.

    Ingredients for Carrot Moscow Mule

    Ginger beer
    Vodka
    Carrot Juice
    Lime
    Angostura Bitters
    Ice

    Glass of cocktail with a straw and lime wedge.

    I made this Carrot Moscow Mule cocktail for thebar.com, a fantastic repository of cocktail recipes, from the perfect Old Fashioned to the classic Mojito. Head over to their site and check out the fab range of classic cocktail recipes.

    They asked me to share my favourite classic cocktail recipe, with a personal twist, and I chose the Moscow Mule.

    I love the traditional Moscow Mule and it always reminds me of my first years in London, working in a bar and partying any chance I got with my best friend.

    We both loved the spicy gingery cocktail. Now, years later, the smell of ginger and lime always takes me back to those halcyon days.

      This was an excellent version of a Moscow Mule and I will definitely make it again. The carrot juice goes so well with the ginger! This was a hit!

      Love the addition of carrot juice to this cocktail. Don't think I've ever seen the use of it on any cocktail menu!

      Your Moscow Mule with carrot juice sounds absolutely delicious, but please don't make me drink salad - that doesn't sound at all pleasing 🙁

      OMG I love this! For one, it's so pretty. And for two, I love your rational. I'd totally drink one of these and be happy to call it salad. Haha.

      This is a new idea for me. I love the sweet taste of carrots and imagine that carrot juice would make for a delicious tasting moscow mule. I'm in!

        I can't think of anything to substitute, but it would still be nice if you leave it out. 🙂
