DIY: Ginger Shots

Kate’s teaching her kids how to do shots…ginger and lemon shots! 😂 It’s a great way to help support your body! If you deal with inflammation, digestion worries, or a sluggish immune system, you should try making these! They are easy to make, and aren’t those little Mason jars adorable?

She said the shots were kid-approved, “They had fun shaking them up…and they taste like spicy lemonade! But they are so good for them.”

Ginger has many benefits besides anti-inflammatory properties, digestive support, and immune support; it also may help lower cholesterol (1), improve blood sugar levels (2), and improve brain functionality (3)!

Ginger can be found in dried bulk, pills, powders, teas, extracts, and tinctures. Teas and soups are also options. 

Besides doing ginger shots, we also recommend Earthley’s Elderberry Elixir (Original Formula) and Ginger Root Capsules.  

Check out the recipes below, and here’s a video showing how to make it fresh!

Kate’s Ginger Shot Recipes

Recipe #1 (Spicy):

• 2.5 tbsp. ginger juice
• 1 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. Manuka honey (optional)
• 1/16th tsp. cayenne (optional)
• 1/4 cup filtered water (optional, but less spicy!)

Recipe #2 (Not As Spicy):

• 1 tbsp. ginger juice
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp. Manuka honey
• 2 tbsp. filtered water (or fill to 2 oz.)

The second is much less spicy, so it is great for kids!

Directions:

Step 1: If using fresh, juice the ginger and lemon and mix. If using bottled, just mix it.

Step 2: Enjoy your shot of inflammation-busting gut and immunity-supporting goodness!

That’s all there is to it!

Notes: If you juice it fresh, this lasts a few days in the refrigerator. If using an organic pasteurized juice, it will last for about a month in the fridge. You can mix some up ahead of time and grab a shot when you need it! 

Have you ever made homemade ginger shots, if so, how did you like it?
