How to Prepare Ginger Shots
Creating these ginger shots is quick and easy, taking approximately ten minutes, depending on your desired quantity. My preferred method involves juicing a whole pineapple, blending in two to four limes, adding six 1-inch pieces of ginger, and then dividing the mixture into small containers. The natural sweetness of the pineapple makes these shots a delightful treat.
Preparation Steps:
Prep Ginger and Fruit: Peel and dice the fresh ginger, pineapple, and lime.
Juicing: Use a juicer to extract the juices of ginger, pineapple, and lime. If a juicer is unavailable, blend all ingredients in a high-speed blender, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining fruit and ginger particles.
Serving: Pour approximately 1/3 cup into each shot glass.
The Benefits of Ginger Shots
These ginger shots offer a potent dose of nutrients. Ginger, belonging to the same family as cardamom and turmeric, contains compounds like ketones and gingerols, which contribute to its distinct spicy flavor. With its impressive antioxidant properties, ginger rivals the nutritional value of pomegranates and certain berries. The addition of pineapple not only enhances the taste but also introduces bromelain, magnesium, and vitamin C, further boosting the health benefits of these refreshing shots.
