Description

Indulge in the flavors of carrot cake in a sophisticated cocktail! This Carrot Cake Martini recipe combines vodka, fresh carrot juice, cream liqueur, and warm spices for a delightful dessert experience. Perfect for special occasions or a sweet treat after dinner.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  • Don’t Over-Shake: Shaking too vigorously can dilute the martini.
