Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh carrot juice
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 12 tablespoons honey (natural), adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Juices: Begin by juicing fresh carrots and oranges. Strain the juices if desired for a smoother texture, ensuring you have bright and flavorful fresh liquid for the mocktail.
  2. Sweeten and Blend: In a mixing glass, combine the carrot juice with honey (natural) and a splash of apple cider vinegar (natural). Stir well until the honey dissolves completely.
  3. Add Natural Gelling Agent: Gently heat a small amount of natural gelling agent in a separate saucepan, then mix it into the carrot juice blend to create a slightly thickened texture that will help form the vibrant bottom layer.
  4. Pour First Layer: Carefully pour the carrot juice mixture into serving glasses, filling about one-third of the glass. Place the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set slightly.
  5. Prepare Orange Juice Layer: While the first layer sets, stir the orange juice with honey (natural) and a little natural gelling agent heated gently. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
  6. Layer Orange Juice: Gently pour the orange juice layer over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the carrot juice layer, creating a beautiful separation and candy corn effect.
  7. Chill and Serve: Add ice cubes to the glass for a refreshing chill, then serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed juices for the best flavor and vibrancy.
  • Allow each layer to set properly in the refrigerator to achieve distinct separation.
  • Pour the orange juice layer at room temperature to avoid mixing with the chilled carrot layer.
  • Adjust honey (natural) levels depending on the natural sweetness of your carrots and oranges.
  • Use just enough natural gelling agent to thicken without creating a jelly-like texture.
