Preparation Time

Step-by-Step Instruction

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing all the fruits and vegetables thoroughly.
Peel and Chop: Remove the skins from the kiwis, carrots, and apple. Chop them into manageable pieces for your juicer.
Pomegranate Seeds: Cut the pomegranate in half and carefully extract the seeds. Ensure no white pith remains, as it can be bitter.
Juice the Fruits and Vegetables: Using a juicer, start with the softer fruits like kiwis and apple. Proceed with the carrots for their sweet undertones.
Juice the Pomegranate: Add the pomegranate seeds to the juicer. They will infuse the cocktail with a beautiful deep red color and tangy taste.
Raspberries: Add the raspberries last to ensure their delicate flavor isn't overwhelmed by the other ingredients.
Lemon Juice: Squeeze half a lemon and add the juice to the mixture for a refreshing citrus note.
Stir and Combine: Pour the juices into a large glass or pitcher. Use a spoon to stir and ensure the flavors meld together.
Serve Cold: It's best served chilled, so add some ice cubes if desired.
Garnish: Optionally, garnish with a slice of kiwi or a sprig of mint for an attractive finish.

Tips

Substitutions: For a sweeter cocktail, consider adding a splash of honey or a few drops of vanilla extract.
