Ingredients

  • 1 lime, halved crosswise

  • 3 slices fresh ginger, plus more for garnish

  • 1 sprig fresh mint

  • ice as needed

  • 2 fluid ounces purchased carrot juice

  • 1 ounce silver tequila

  • 1/2 fluid ounce chile liqueur or Ancho Syrup (see recipe, below)

  • 1 1/2 fluid ounces ginger beer

Directions

  1. Cut 1 lime half into 4 pieces; add to a cocktail shaker with ginger and mint sprig. Muddle mixture until combined, well crushed, and juicy, about 1 minute.

  2. Fill the cocktail shaker half full with ice. Add carrot juice, tequila, and chile liqueur to shaker; cover and shake until outside of shaker is frosted, about 60 seconds. Strain into an ice-filled cocktail glass and top with ginger beer. Cut a lime wheel from remaining lime half. Garnish cocktail with lime wheel and ginger slices.

    Cook’s Note

    For a booze-free version, omit tequila and increase carrot juice to 3 ounces. Omit chile liqueur and substitute 1/2 ounce Ancho Syrup.

    Ancho Syrup: ​​Seed 1 dried ancho chile and tear into pieces; add to a small saucepan with 1/2 cup each sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Let steep, covered, 20 minutes. Strain out chile solids. Chill in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
