A compilation of foodie things from Crista & Jess: food we make, food we want and things we like.
This is a great cocktail - and you can pretty easily convince yourself that it’s *healthy* due to the carrot juice. We replaced the cumin with a few shakes of Tabasco for a spicy little kick.
Tequila and lime, with fresh carrot juice, adds a nice completxity and the the cumin ties in a Mexican theme. Essentially it’s a carrot margarita. Refreshing and delicious.
