Ingredients
Scale
- 2 oz Vodka
- 1 oz Carrot Juice (freshly squeezed or high-quality store-bought)
- 1 oz Cream Liqueur (such as Irish cream or a vanilla cream liqueur)
- 0.5 oz Simple Syrup (adjust to taste depending on sweetness of carrot juice)
- Pinch of Ground Cinnamon
- Pinch of Ground Nutmeg
- Ice Cubes
- Optional Garnish: Carrot slice, cinnamon stick, or a sprinkle of grated nutmeg
Instructions
- Prepare the Carrot Juice: If using fresh carrots, blend a few carrots with a splash of water or orange juice until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to extract the juice.
- Combine Ingredients in a Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the vodka, carrot juice, cream liqueur, and simple syrup to the shaker.
- Add Spices and Shake Well: Add a pinch of ground cinnamon and a pinch of ground nutmeg to the shaker. Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the carrot martini into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a thin slice of carrot, a cinnamon stick, or a sprinkle of grated nutmeg for an extra touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade dessert martini recipe.
Notes
- Use Fresh Carrot Juice: Freshly squeezed carrot juice provides the best flavor.
- Chill Your Glass: A chilled martini glass keeps your martini colder for longer.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste and adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking. Some carrot juices are sweeter than others.
- High-Quality Ingredients: Using high-quality vodka and cream liqueur can significantly improve the taste.
- Donβt Over-Shake: Shaking too vigorously can dilute the martini.
