Peel the ginger root to remove its rough outer layer.
Squeeze the juice from your lemon and set it aside.
Gather all other ingredients for easy assembly.
Step 2: Blend or Juice
If using a blender, combine the chopped ginger, lemon juice, honey, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and water. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp.
If using a juicer, process the ginger and lemon directly. Stir in the honey, turmeric, and cayenne pepper afterward.
Step 3: Adjust and Serve
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or spice levels to your preference.
Pour into small shot glasses and drink immediately for the freshest flavor.
Step 4: Store Leftovers
Store any remaining shots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Shake well before each use.
Pro Tips
Use organic ingredients for a purer, more nutrient-rich shot.
If you’re new to ginger shots, start with a smaller amount of ginger to avoid overwhelming your taste buds.
