Review:

This very Dutch celebratory cocktail was created using Dutch vodka, Dutch orange curacao, and Dutch-made ginger liqueur. Carrot juice provides the all-important orange hue and subtle flavour. For the truly orange King's Day experience, make it with 50% Ketel One vodka and 50% Ketel One Oranje, or even replace vodka with 100% Ketel One Oranje.

Does 'freshly extracted carrot juice' require a juicer, Nutribullet, or some other piece of equipment usually found in the back of the cupboard of someone who went on a 'detox' after Christmas :)

Yes, it requires an electric juice extractor, but you can also buy carrot juice in supermarkets.
