Equipment

  • Small saucepan
  • Champagne flutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups carrot juice
  • ¾ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg preferably freshly grated
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • Pinch of ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • White sugar for garnish, optional
  • Additional ground cinnamon for garnish, optional
  • 1 bottle chilled sparkling white wine

Instructions

  • Add the carrot juice, pineapple juice, brown sugar and spices to a small saucepan. Whisk to combine. Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring every so often to help dissolve the sugar. Turn off the heat, stir in the vanilla, allow the mixture to cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • For a garnished rim, pour some water onto a small plate. On a separate plate, mix together the white sugar and ground cinnamon. Dip the rim of the Champagne flute into the water to moisten and then swirl it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture .
  • Remove the carrot juice mixture from the refrigerator. As it sits, the sugar and spices will separate just a bit. Whisk it vigorously to bring the mixture back together. Fill the Champagne flute about halfway with sparkling wine. Add about 2-3 ounces of the carrot juice mixture. If you have any room left, you can top with another splash of Champagne. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a nonalcoholic option, use ginger ale in place of sparkling white wine.
