Instruction Overview
You can build this directly in your serving glass, but your mixer ratio might be off. So I recommend making the juice mixture in a mixing glass and then pouring each serving.
In a mixing glass, combine the carrot and orange juices.
Fill your serving glasses with ice.
Pour the juice mixture into the serving glasses about half way up.
Top off the remaining space in the glass with your soda.
Garnish as desired.
Modifications and Substitutions
If you love ginger, using a ginger beer or ginger ale is a great substitution to make a carrot ginger mocktail! But since kids are typically not a fan, we went the route of lemon lime soda here.
Another great option is to use club soda for less sugar but still getting your bubbles!

Kim’s Tips
The exact amount of soda that you use will vary with how full the glass already is. To get a better ratio, combine the orange and carrot juices in a mixing glass and only add it about half way up in a serving glass, and then top off with the soda, regardless if a little juice is still left in your mixing glass.
This makes a great large batch drink! Just combine the juices in a larger container like a pitcher or large mason jar. Don’t top off with soda until serving each one so that it does not go flat!
