The Buzzed Bunny | Easter Cocktail

With Easter this weekend I’ve got dinner and dessert on my mind but I also have cocktails on mind (of course, have you met me?) I love a good themed cocktail more than anyone so when I was thinking about what I was going to do for Easter of course my mind went right towards carrots, which led me to this uh-mazing Buzzed Bunny Easter Cocktail.

What’s a Buzzed Bunny Easter Cocktail you say? Well, it’s a refreshing combination of carrot juice, pineapple juice, lemon juice, ginger, mint and gin. It is unlike any cocktail I’ve ever had – and that’s saying a lot because homegirl loves a good drink. 

If you’ve never had carrot juice, don’t shy away from it and think ew. It’s totally not ew, especially if you like carrots.

I was first introduced to carrot juice by my husband when vacationing. We were visiting a beach resort area on Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and he ordered Jugo de Zanahoria, or carrot juice, to go along with his breakfast. Never shying away from a new food or drink I had to give it a try. I was hooked. It was delicious and from that moment on, I’ve been a carrot juice lover. 

To begin, I combined the carrot juice, pineapple juice, grated ginger, lemon juice and gin in a cocktail shaker over ice and gave it good shake. From there, I poured the drink into a rocks glass over ice and added fresh mint and a lemon slice.

I mean seriously, so, so good. Almost too good. It almost feels healthy – just go with it.
