Woodland 75

A garden-inspired twist on the classic French 75. Fresh carrot juice adds subtle sweetness and earthiness, while ginger syrup provides warmth and spice. Finished with sparkling wine, this cocktail is bright, refreshing, and surprisingly elegant.

Notes

To make ginger syrup:

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup fresh ginger, sliced

Combine ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, cool, and strain. Store refrigerated for up to two weeks.

Freshly juiced carrots produce the brightest flavor. If using bottled carrot juice, choose one with no added sugar.
