Total Time: 15 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the carrots thoroughly. Peel them to remove any residual dirt and slicing them into pieces that fit your juicer.
Peel the Orange: Use a knife to gently peel the orange skin. Make sure to remove any white pith, as it can add bitterness to your cocktail.
Prepare the Pineapple: Cut the pineapple in half and remove the tough core. Chop the soft pulp into chunks suitable for juicing.
Juice the Carrots: Feed the carrot pieces through your juicer, collecting the juice into a large pitcher.
Juice the Orange: Add the peeled orange into the juicer, and let its sweet juice blend with the carrot.
Juice the Pineapple: Repeat with the pineapple chunks, ensuring all the juice is extracted and mixed into the pitcher.
Add Lemon Zest: Grate a small piece of the lemon peel into the juice mixture to enhance the citrusy flavor.
Juice the Lemon: Slice the lemon and squeeze its juice directly into the pitcher.
Incorporate Olive Oil: Introduce a teaspoon of olive oil to the juice, stirring to combine. This step is crucial for helping your body absorb the vitamins effectively.
Mix Well: Stir the entire mixture well until fully combined. This ensures an even blend of flavors.
Taste Test: Have a small taste test. If you prefer the cocktail to be sweeter, you can consider adding a touch of honey.
Refrigerate for a Chill: If you like your drinks cold, leave the cocktail in the fridge for a few minutes.
Prepare Glasses: Get your serving glasses ready by placing them in the fridge to chill or filling them with ice cubes.
Strain the Juice: If you prefer a clearer cocktail, use a strainer to remove any pulp from the mixture.
Pour the Cocktail: Serve the mixture into chilled glasses, filling them up and adding a twist of lemon for garnish.
Stir once More: Before enjoying, give each glass a quick stir to ensure the olive oil is well mixed.
Add a Garnish: For added appeal, consider garnishing with a small citrus slice on the rim of the glass.
Serve Immediately: This will ensure you enjoy the freshest flavors.
Enjoy! Raise your glass and savor the burst of natural flavors.
Repeat: Make another batch to share with friends or store leftovers in an airtight container for the next day.

Tips

Substitutions: Replace olive oil with coconut oil for a different flavor profile.
Techniques: Use a citrus juicer to get the most juice from the lemon and orange.
Storage: The cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in a sealed container.
