Ingredients

3 large carrots , washed and chopped
16 ounces orange juice [2 cups, 0.5 l]
sugar (white, granulated) or sweetener (optional)
Ice

Instructions

Blend: Combine the carrots and 1 qt [1 l] of water. Liquefy in the blender.
Sieve and get rid of the solids (optional, this is how it's traditionally done in the Dom. Rep.). Mix in the orange juice.
Serve: Add sugar or sweetener to taste (optional).
Add ice and serve.

Notes

If you prefer you can use lime juice but bear in mind this is more acidic, so you'll have to experiment to find the taste you like.

Some people like to blend a small piece of ginger with the carrot, but this is not a Dominican thing.
