What started as a exercise in riffing on the Piña Colada while drawing inspiration from the rich spice of carrot cake resulted in this decadent carrot colada. “A bomb of seasonality with flavors of cinnamon, allspice, clove, and vanilla complement an earthy sweetness from the carrot and ginger,” says bartender Nick DeHaven of San Diego’s Kindred. “It’s obviously rich, but that earth and ginger combined with the drink’s high proof stop it from feeling like a full-blown dessert.”
