Ingredients

  • ¼ cup ginger root washed, roughly chopped
  • ⅓ cup lemon juice from 3 to 4 lemons
  • ¼ cup coconut water
  • pinch or two cayenne pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend the mixture. Place all the ingredients in a high-powered blender. Put the lid on the blender, and process until the ginger and lemon juice mixture is smooth.
  2. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh strainer. Press on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
  3. Serve or store away. Pour the strained liquid into shot glasses and drink right away or store them in an ice cube tray or glass bottles.

Notes

  • Each ginger shot yields about 3 to 3 ½ tablespoons, meant to be consumed quickly.
  • Peeling ginger is optional since the juice is strained; ensure ginger is thoroughly washed.
  • Store shots in airtight containers for up to one week in the fridge or freeze in ice cube trays for longer storage and easy portioning.
