CZOJ: Patterson House, Pimp My Carrot Juice

After downing 138 ounces of fresh carrot-beet-ginger-lemon juice, a girl starts to think of ways to mix things up a little. After all, the Carrot Zinger Orangification Journey (i.e. my quest to drink enough of Fresh Blends' so-called Carrot Zingers to turn myself orange) does not preclude other beverages, such as, say, gin.

So I called upon the team at The Patterson House to see what they would do to goose the wholesome medley. (These guys made a cocktail of bacon, for crissakes--surely they can pimp some carrot juice with a little hooch.)

Indeed the 100-proof team at the speakeasy on Division Street responded with this formula:

2 oz. light rum

1 oz. carrot juice

1 oz. ginger syrup

1 oz. lime juice

1 oz. beet juice

I haven't tried it yet--I'm saving it for my weekend CZ dose--but I'm pretty sure it needs a sassy name to finish it off. And possibly some bacon.

What can we call this beverage?

VolksJuice, in tribute to the two different models of Volkswagen it contains (beetle and rabbit)?

I love Bites readers. These names are genius. Beta Carrotini! Jacked Rabbit! Cee El Cee, if someone doesn't adopt the name Carroton Fox, I will have to make up my own carrot cocktail.

These are all great--Carrington, you've got to use the Carroton Fox! Any chance this or some other ingenious cocktail have been officially added to the PH summer menu?
