The Remedy Recipe

Juice preparation

If you don't have store-bought juices, prepare fresh: trim and wash 2–3 medium carrots and run through a juicer to yield about 1 oz carrot juice. Peel a 1–2-inch piece of fresh ginger and press or grate and squeeze through a cheesecloth to collect 0.5 oz ginger juice (or use 0.5 oz ginger syrup). Juice one lemon to obtain at least 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz blanco agave spirit, 0.75 oz pineapple liqueur, 1 oz fresh carrot juice, 0.5 oz fresh ginger juice (or ginger syrup), 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz honey or agave syrup if you prefer a touch more sweetness. Add 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

Dry shake (optional)

If you want a slightly frothier texture, first dry-shake the mixture (shake without ice) vigorously for 10 seconds to help integrate the juices and syrup.

Shake with ice

Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and the exterior is frosty.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or rocks glass over fresh crushed ice or a single large ice cube, depending on your preference.

Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink and rim the glass lightly with the twist, then drop it in. Alternatively, use a thin carrot ribbon (created with a vegetable peeler) and thread it onto a cocktail pick or place it artfully on the drink. Serve immediately.
