Carrot Ginger Cucumber Juice in Philly

No trip to Philly is complete without an excursion to the enormous Amish market in the Reading Terminal. The roommates and I stopped at the Four Seasons Juice Bar between touristing (by which I mean mostly food shopping with a quick stop at the art museum) to wait out a torrential rain storm.

I chose Carrot Ginger Cucumber juice, inspired by a few fancy restaurants that have started to serve water with a slice of cucumber in place of the boring old lemon. The drink was marvelously, radioactively orange. After four sips I decided I liked it, but the first few mouthfuls were touch-and-go. The other two drinks we ordered were sticky sweet and left their purchasers wanting water. Carrot Ginger Cucumber refreshed and hydrated, though the slivers of mushy carrot in the bottom weren't a great feature. Next time, I'd try the drink with watermelon replacing the carrot. Most important, after getting juiced we were ready to hit the wine and cheese shops to figure out what was for dinner.
