• Champagne
• Orange juice
• Cute glasses

🥕 How to Make Carrot Ice Cubes

1. Slice your “carrots”

Cut your oranges into thin slices, then trim them slightly into a tapered shape to resemble a carrot.

2. Create the “greens”

Peel your lime and cut the rind into thin strips—these will be your carrot tops.

3. Assemble

Place one orange slice into each ice cube slot, then tuck a few lime peel pieces at the top.

4. Add water + freeze

Fill each compartment with water and freeze until solid (about 3–4 hours or overnight).

This simple combo of citrus and water creates that playful carrot look without needing actual vegetables. 

🥂 How to Use Them for Easter Mimosas

When you’re ready to serve:

• Add a carrot ice cube to each glass
• Pour champagne or sparkling wine
• Top with a splash of orange juice

That’s it—your mimosa just became the star of the brunch table.

✨ Tips for the Prettiest Results

• Use clear or distilled water if you want that extra aesthetic, glass-like finish
• Freeze in layers if you want everything perfectly centered
• Make them the night before to save time on Easter morning
