Barsys
Carrot King
About
The Carrot King brings a fresh, savory twist to the tequila cocktail world - think of it as a lighter, brighter cousin of the Bloody Maria. Built with Teremana Reposado, the drink gets earthy sweetness from fresh carrot juice, vibrant acidity from lemon, and warm spice from ginger syrup. A couple dashes of hot sauce and a pinch of celery salt pull it firmly into savory territory while keeping the flavor clean and refreshing.
It’s bold, balanced, and incredibly drinkable - perfect for brunch, daytime hangs, or anytime you want something that feels both nourishing and full of character.
Shaken or Stirred? Neither - this cocktail is rolled. That means gently passing it back and forth between a Collins glass and the shaker tin to mix without over-diluting.
What You'll Need
Single Serve
- 1.5 oz Teremana Reposado
- 1 oz Fresh Carrot Juice
- 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 0.5 oz Ginger Syrup

Pro Tip
Roll, don’t shake. Rolling keeps the texture smooth and prevents frothiness. Think of it as gently blending the flavors while keeping the drink crisp and bright.
