BUNNY RABBIT COCKTAIL

Imagine a Bloody Mary hopped up on carrots—because that's exactly what this is! We've swapped the tomato juice for carrot juice, making this drink as vibrant as Bugs Bunny after his morning coffee.

Here's how to whip up this refreshingly Bunny concoction:

For your shopping list?

Carrot juice (freshly squeezed for that extra hop in your step)

Vodka (because it's always 5 o'clock somewhere)

Lemon juice (to keep things zesty)

Hot sauce (for a kick, like a rabbit's thump)

Worcestershire sauce (try saying that three times fast)

Salt and pepper (just a pinch, like a bunny's nose twitch)

Garnish:

A carrot, obviously. Bugs would approve.

Is it better than the Bloody Mary? Well, if you're lounging in the summer sun, this carrot concoction is a bit fresher, a tad sweeter, and undeniably more hare-raising. But hey, taste is subjective, so hop to it and decide for yourself!

Here's the recipe again, just in case you missed a hop:

Ingredients

1 ? oz (45 ml) vodka

3 oz (90 ml) carrot juice
