Ingredients
  

  • 1 orange
  • 3 lemons
  • ½ lb fresh ginger
  • 1 medium root of turmeric
  • a pinch of cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup coconut water or regular water

Instructions
 

  • Wash all of the produce. Cut off the peel from the orange and lemon and chop up the ginger (no need to peel it).
  • There are two ways that you can make ginger shots. One method is using a juicer, and the other is just using a sieve (if you do not have a juicer).

With a Juicer

  • If have a juicer, simply place all of the ingredients in the juicer and juice them.

In a Blender

  • If you do not have a juicer, add the orange, lemon, ginger, turmeric, cayenne, and coconut water to a blender and blend them all together.
  • Once you've blended everything, pour the mixture over a sieve to separate out the pulp. I transferred my pulp to my a juice press to separate the pulp from the juice, which does the same thing.
  • Pour the ginger shots into small glass bottles, or transfer to a larger bottle and then pour into shot-sized glasses when you're ready to enjoy them!
  • This recipe makes 6 large ginger shots.

Notes

Be sure to check the full post for variations you can try, storage info, and more!
  • Shake it up! Be sure to give your fresh ginger shots a shake before drinking them.
  • Wash your produce. Especially the ginger and turmeric which you aren't peeling.
  • Intense flavor. The flavor of gingers shots is pretty potent and intense. You can mix it with fruit juice, tea, or sparkling water to make it easier to consume or if you prefer sipping rather than taking it all in one shot.
  • Serving Idea: Add it to smoothies to give your smoothie a boost! Give it a try with this green smoothie.
  • Use a fine mesh strainer. This will remove more of the solids left after blending. If you don't have one a nut milk bag or cheesecloth work well too.
