Carrot Lemon Syrup

Ingredients

Syrup (makes 2 cups)

  • 1 1/3 cups carrots grated
  • 5 lemons juiced
  • 1 orange juiced
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  • In a Mason jar, stir together the carrot, lemon juice, orange juice, and sugar. Steep in the fridge for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours, occasionally stirring or shaking to dissolve the sugar. Pour the mixture through a sieve into a large jug to separate the pulp. After separating, save the grated carrots to use in your favorite carrot cake recipe.

For mocktail

  • Pour 1 1/2 ounces of the carrot mixture into a glass, add ice, then top with 4 ounces of sparkling water.
  • Spike it: In a cocktail shaker with ice, combine 2 ounces of whiskey with 4 ounces of carrot lemon syrup. Shake and pour over ice into a whiskey glass. Garnish with a lemon peel or wedge.
