Ginger Shot – Review & Top Comparison 2026">Homemade Ginger Shot: 5 Easy Recipes + The Pro Version

Making a homemade ginger shot is satisfying and economical — if you have the time and equipment. Here are 5 simple recipes, plus an honest comparison with professional shots.

Recipe 1: The Classic Shot (Juicer)

Ingredients: 100g fresh ginger, 1 lemon, 1 small apple
Preparation: Pass all ingredients through a juicer. Yield: approximately 60-80 ml.
Concentration: Moderate — depends on the quality of the ginger and the juicer.

Recipe 2: The Blender Shot (No Juicer)

Ingredients: 50g fresh ginger, 100ml water, juice of 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon honey
Preparation: Blend the ginger with water, strain through a fine sieve, add lemon and honey.
Tip: Freeze in ice cube trays for individual portions.

Recipe 3: The Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Shot

Ingredients: 80g fresh ginger, 1 cm fresh turmeric, 1 lemon, a pinch of black pepper
Preparation: Pass through a juicer. Black pepper is crucial — it multiplies the absorption of curcumin by 20.
Note: This recipe is similar to INTI's formulation (ginger + turmeric + black pepper).

Recipe 4: The Liver Detox Shot

Ingredients: 60g ginger, 1 lemon, 1 green apple, 2 celery stalks
Preparation: Juice with a juicer. Celery adds electrolytes and a mild diuretic effect.

Recipe 5: The Immunity Shot

Ingredients: 80g ginger, 1 orange, 1 cm turmeric, a pinch of cayenne pepper
Preparation: Juice with a juicer. Vitamin C from orange + gingerols = double immune boost.

Our Advice

Homemade shots are perfect for the weekend, when you have time. During the week, when every minute counts, a professional shot like INTI is more realistic for maintaining a daily routine.

The ideal: make your homemade shots on the weekend and keep INTI shots for the week. This way, you never miss your daily dose of ginger.
