Spiritless Carrot Stick: A Non Alcoholic Carrot Coconut Drink

Looking for a fresh zero proof cocktail that doesn’t rely on syrups or sugar to taste good? The Spiritless Carrot Stick is a hydrating, vibrant spirit-free drink made with carrot juice, coconut water and El Guapo™ Cucumber Lavender Bitters & Soda. It’s refreshing enough for Dry January, light enough for brunch and pretty enough for company. One shake, one pour, instant upgrade.

Why This Zero Proof Carrot Cocktail Works

The Spiritless Carrot Stick shines because it is fresh, clean and thoughtfully balanced. Coconut water brings natural hydration and body, carrot juice adds gentle sweetness and color, and a squeeze of lemon keeps everything bright. The topper of El Guapo™ Cucumber Lavender Bitters & Soda adds crisp botanical lift with no sugar and no alcohol, turning simple ingredients into something light, sophisticated and truly refreshing.

Every component has a purpose. The coconut water softens the edges, the citrus sharpens the flavor, and the bitters & soda bring the sparkle. It tastes like a spa day in drink form — cooling, airy and easy to sip anytime.

The result is a zero proof cocktail that feels grown up, not like a compromise. Perfect for Dry January, brunch hosting, 3pm resets or nights when you want something beautiful in your glass without the booze.

Tips & Variations

Switch up the flavor: Try a different Bitters & Soda topper for new profiles. Cucumber Lavender keeps things spa-bright, but Love Potion Bitters & Soda adds a floral component that pairs nicely with carrot juice.

Make it extra frothy: Shake a little longer for a silky texture, or add a splash of pineapple juice for natural foam and tropical energy.

Turn it into a brunch pitcher: Multiply the base ingredients and chill in a carafe. Top each glass with Bitters & Soda just before serving so the bubbles stay lively.

Prefer it sweeter or brighter? Add a bar spoon of honey or agave for more roundness. If you like more tang, increase lemon juice slightly.

Serve it cold: This cocktail tastes best very chilled. Use plenty of ice and cold ingredients for the most refreshing sip.
