I use to work at Hotel called the Fort Young Hotel, and this was one of my most favorite cocktail recipes. At the hotel they were called Exotic Fruit Punch. Now I’m not working at the hotel, when some of my friends drop by to visit and I put this together in the blender. They’re dying to know my recipe – well I guess today is their lucky day. Fruit punch (Mele) is refreshing cocktail anytime of the year and great for people on fruit diets.

Ginger Beer is hands down one of my favorite beverages of all-time. A lot of people complain about the burning aftertaste, but for me the stronger the better. Ginger Beer is what I a call a real man drink. The secret is to making great ginger beer is to use fresh ginger, plus the addition of the lime or lemon juice. It is a traditional week-end beverage, and is as well a festive season drink.

I’ve to be honest about this recipe. Until a few days ago this was the first time I’ve ever heard of this Carrot Ginger Beer recipe. Well not in Dominica at least; what I know off is Ginger Beer. So, I went ahead and get the recipe a try – here are my thoughts: delicious, every tasty, but depending on the amount of ginger you mix in – your mouth will be literally on fire. So be carefully and enjoy this recipe.
