Ginger Shot Recipes for Blenders and Slow Juicers

There is a simple way to benefit from the positive effects of ginger: Ginger shots. These are highly concentrated mini drinks made from ginger, which are sensationally good for colds, can boost your immune system or heat us up from the inside and stimulate the metabolism. But a ginger shot also helps against digestive problems - e.g after a heavy meal. A ginger shot works like a 'digestive' bitter, but without the alcohol.

You can make a ginger shot either classically with a slow juicer by juicing the ginger or you can use a high-speed blender and make a mini ginger smoothie, which is mixed with other ingredients such as honey and lemon juice.
Here are some recipes for both methods of preparation:

Ginger shot recipes for the blender

If you don't have a slow juicer at home, but you do have a high-spedd blender, you can easily make ginger shots with a high-speed blender. The difference is that you use the whole ginger, plus you need liquid like orange or lemon juice to blend it. We also add honey to sweeten it. If you prefer the vegan version, you can of course also use vegetable sweeteners such as agave syrup or maple syrup. However, honey has an advantage: It has an antibacterial effect and makes the ginger shot even more durable.

You can combine the Ginger Shot from the blender with other ingredients such as the anti-inflammatory turmeric. Turmeric isn't nearly as spicy as ginger, and that's why you can add some black pepper to this shot. Pepper improves the bioavailability of turmeric and enhances its absorption by the body. In terms of taste, orange juice goes perfectly with it - blood orange juice is also welcome.

Dosage and application

Ginger shots out of the blender are much spicier than from a slow juicer, we explicitly give a few more tips on dosage and application:

You can either drink it pure - about a shot glass of 1 cl (10 ml) or diluted with water in a ratio of 1:3 or even 1:4, just find your way! If you drink the Ginger Shot undiluted, expect to feel its fiery finish in your throat - it warms you up all the way to your stomach area.
Of course, the Ginger Shot from the blender can also be turned into a fresh tea with hot water - extremely beneficial for a cold. However, it loses heat-sensitive ingredients.

CAUTION: Turmeric colors the blender jar yellowish. However, our experience shows that the colored turmeric residue is not permanent. After a few applications or preparations of green smoothies, the turmeric yellow is no longer visible.

Ginger Shot Recipes for Slow Juicer

When preparing a ginger shot with a slow juicer, you don't need any ingredients other than ginger. The ginger is simply juiced, making it pure and milder to drink than when prepared with a blender. And yet, a juiced ginger shot has it all. Try it in small sips. If the ginger shot is too spicy for you, simply add a little water or add the juice of an apple - which of course was juiced. Both recipes shown here are for the slow juicers.
