What is a Ginger Shot?
A ginger shot is raw juice made by juicing fresh ginger root. The ingredients of a ginger shot may vary depending on the recipe. Some shots are made with only fresh ginger juice, while others might contain other ingredients like lemon juice, orange juice, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and/or raw honey or maple syrup.
This particular ginger shot we are making today is a combination of not only fresh ginger juice, but lemon and apple juice as well.
