Note

For a smoother texture, you can strain the carrot puree before adding the other ingredients.

Adjust the amount of grenadine to taste if you prefer a less sweet cocktail.

Freshly squeezed grapefruit juice yields the best flavor; bottled juice may vary in sweetness and acidity.

This drink is best served immediately to maintain its frothy texture and fresh taste.
