Carrot Margarita

Sipping Saturday
On Monday I filled 185 plastic easter eggs with goodies.
On Tuesday I taped, glued and glittered eggs, bunnies and baskets with my girls.
On Wednesday I ran to the store to pick up the perfect shade of purple my daughter just had to have for her Easter basket.
On Thursday I moved the enormous Easter pinata located in my living room for the fifth time so I could clean.
On Friday as I grated carrots for cupcakes. I had planned to send with hubby for his co workers. I became a little frustrated.
I was a little Eastered out. I was over planning, over preparing and over stressing for a holiday that was a week away.
Honestly who would care if the eggs weren’t perfect, if the decorations were slightly runny from excess glue or if I even sent cupcakes?
I needed to relax. So I chucked all the carrots into my juicer and concoted this groovy Easter Margarita. Before the glass touched my lips I hesitated. It is kinda different, but I like different. Enjoy!
If you enjoy fresh carrot juice this is the drink for you. The fresh juice adds a refreshing backdrop to the lime juice.

The only thing I would adjust would be trying Chili Con Limon on half the rim. Yumm!! Which would be good on most of the fruit & cucumber versions.

I know how you felt. I used to plan everything, even the smallest detail. I gave up when i realized life is too short, I don’t need all that stress.
I love carrot juice and your margarita sounds like a great idea. Guess what? It’s 5 o’clock! Where’s my margarita?!?! LOL
Don’t laugh at me, but I have never tried carrot juice…this sounds so cool though, and so if I am going to try carrot juice this is the way I want it
Awesome! I love carrot juice. Add some liquor and I’m in nirvana. Great work on he garnish too.
Clever. Very clever. Wonder how ginger or cucumber would work with this.
I couldn’t help but laugh and feel that you may have a special kinship with my Mom. I’m sending her your post and your drink. She over-plans and loves margaritas ;o))
Ciao for now,

We love margaritas (hard not to while living in Mexico – ha!) and I’m going to have to make these… que rico!
Mmmm! These sound sooooo good! You deserved it! I hope you drank 2 or 3 after all your hard work. Thanks for sharing!

What a kick ass idea. RT’d to my followers
What a great idea! I have to say, it sounds wonderful, and maybe some of those antioxidants will balance out the alcohol.

I love the idea of a carrot margarita! Lol…It makes the drink seem like essential nutrition.
Sounds like a refreshing cocktail, and I love the color! Hope you have a fun Easter.
My first thought was “you must be kidding”, and more I thought, more I thought that actually would be yummie, why not make your margarita healthy? I will definitely give this a try, maybe will relax me too
Have a great week!
No way! Too delicious and too pretty! I can;t believe you did it with carrots. So impressed right now! So impressed and a tad bitjealous!
Just send those instead of cupcakes!
What lovely color and beautiful pictures!
Sounds like a very refreshing drink! I would love to try this.
Stunning margarita and really clever idea!
You have been one busy lady! This margarita was definitely well deserved. I’ve never heard of a carrot margarita before…sounds different, but good! Hope this upcoming week is more relaxing for you
Wow. I like different too and will bookmark this for when I have cointreau in the house. Awesome.
Yum! I’d also like to taste the guava margarita.

I love everything here. The color, the idea of a carrot margarita – but I especially love the decision to take some “me-time” and create for yourself.
I hope you savored that margarita
Sounds like you’re gonna have a fun Easter next week. Good luck with the rest of plans, maybe you relax with a chocolate martini next time
This carrot margarita looks so refreshing! This is indeed quite a groovy Easter margarita.
I so remember those days of frazzled, hectic jungling of all to do for the holidays when my kids were younger! I wish I had that Margarita to take a moment and relax! What a creative idea, looks delicious and healthy!
You clever chica – Makes it healthful and sinful at the same time!!! And yes, noting cures a dose of stress like a dose of margharita. Yours is perfectly unique and flavorful
chow! Devaki @ weavethousandflavors
That color is brilliant! I’ve never seen this idea, very unique!
That color is amazing! That looks like such a fun drink to serve at a party, everyone would be talking about it!
It sounds perfect to me on a hot summer Texas day! Like you are drinking booze and a healthy drink at the same time!
What glorious color. It sounds like a perfect sipper. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
what a creative idea- I love your little garnish!
watch out, you’re getting pretty innovative with these margaritas…. and hey, busy girls need a vitamin boost right, sounds like this is perfect
Go you for doing something for YOURSELF. Sometimes we all need to remember to take a step back and just drink a margarita. A healthy margarita no less!
Hmm, yummy, a carrot margarita sounds like a real treat.

Wow you’ve certainly been busy! What a clever and novel idea for a margarita!
That Margarita is very unusual. I love it!
