This cocktail gets its vivid color from fresh-pressed carrot juice and contains a bit of sophistication thanks to classic liqueurs (Amaro Meletti and Yellow Chartreuse). Plus, a splash of lemon juice brightens up this vegetable juice cocktail. (If you're juicing carrots at home, use up those green tops with these recipes.)
