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.

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.

I have now made the ginger shot with turmeric and oranges for the third time and even gave it as a gift, and I think it's great. You always have fantastic recipes and ideas, and I'm always looking forward to new recipe inspirations, but unfortunately, I often don't have enough time to try them out.
Thank you for your work and have a lovely evening,
Susanne
thank you so much for your feedback on our recipes. We really appreciate it. Enjoy experimenting with new creations and have a lot of fun and pleasure!
Warm regards,
Carla
I'm a bit surprised by the amount of honey (alternatives) needed for the shot... Is there a "healthier" option available?
By the way, the recipes are always great - we have tried many smoothies already and might give the shot a try as well :-)
Have a great weekend!
Jeannette
thank you for your comment. Since you need to make a certain amount of blended ginger shots, honey is also used for preservation purposes. For me, honey is also a remedy, which is why I find it very fitting in the recipe. Therefore, I cannot offer you an alternative.
Best regards,
Carla
I love ginger and your shots are really great.
Warm regards,
Carla
Thank you for your inquiry. A device demonstration like with Thermomix is not part of our marketing mix or customer service. Instead, we extensively present our blender and slow juicer models on our website; among other things, we provide numerous recipes that can be made in the blender besides smoothies. Furthermore, we attach great importance to promptly answering customer questions online or offline. And of course, you are warmly welcome to visit our store in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
Best regards,
Carla
of course you can do that, too. Tastes a bit more bitter and the consistency of the ginger shot is more pasty. Just try it out.
Best regards,
Carla
are all your recipes always a serving for 1 person? I miss this info every time.
Kind Regards
well, you can't give a general answer to that. It always depends on how much someone wants to drink or consume. With smoothies, it varies between 700-1500 ml per serving.
For the ginger shot: If you drink about 20 ml of it diluted with water every day, that's about 19 servings.
Best regards,
Carla
what kind of blender can I use to make healthy ginger turmeric shots?
with any of our high-speed blenders that you can find in our store, you can prepare ginger shots according to our instructions. For example, with the Wartmann blender or the Vitamix TNC 5200.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us!
Best regards,
Carla
Perhaps freshly pressed ginger shots are more durable than 24 hours, just give it a try. We have tested that the blended shots are durable for that long. Well, why is that? Mmhhh - maybe the honey preserves it, maybe the fiber - I don't know. But as a general rule, the fresher the shot is consumed, the more nutrients are retained.
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you very much for your comment.
I think both juices and smoothies are brilliant in their own way to increase, and possibly improve, our nutrient intake.
Warm regards,
Carla
Just curious, do you have your recipes in a bound book format as well? If so, is it possible to acquire it? Or do you have all those amazing recipes available for purchase as a PDF? I would be thrilled to receive a brief feedback.
First of all, thank you so much for the lovely recipe feedback. Currently, we only have a small set of recipe cards available for sale - you can check them out here.
Best regards,
Carla
Of course - the Angel Juicer will definitely create a fiber-free ginger shot like almost no other device. The ginger shot variation made with a blender is, of course, something different - aimed at those who do not have a slow juicer at home.
You don't need to worry about container discoloration, as the turmeric color will fade over time. You can speed up the process by placing the container on the windowsill facing the sun or in a well-lit area.
Best regards,
Carla
Kind regards,
Carla
Thank you, Jan.
You can definitely do that.
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback on our ginger shots :)
The recipe with apple is intended for the slow juicer; you could easily modify it and add freshly squeezed orange juice as well, since you need some liquid.
Warm regards,
Carla
To be honest, I don't understand why you used a sieve? The ginger shots in the blender are directly pureed and can be taken diluted with water - about a ratio of 1:3 or 1:4, depending on how well you handle the spiciness. Alternatively, you can pour 10-20 ml into hot water to make a tea. It's also delicious and soothing!
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you so much for your comment and the tip about the ice cubes.
Warm regards,
Carla
Thank you so much for your comment. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy our ginger shots so much.
You can definitely dilute the ginger shot and drink more of it accordingly. Alternatively, you can use it to brew a tea - just adjust the amount to your liking. Just keep in mind that if you drink it undiluted, it's best to start slowly.
Sending warm regards,
Carla
thank you for the lovely feedback on our ginger shot recipes. You should definitely use the fine screen - it works great with this premium juicer!
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you for your comment. We're glad that you like the Ginger-Turmeric Shot so much.
Thanks for the tip with the dishwasher detergent!
Warm regards,
Carla
Thank you for your feedback and the tip about the Szechuan pepper - I will try it out immediately :)
Best regards,
Carla
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We also really enjoy the turmeric version. However, I wouldn't recommend it for children or people with stomach issues - the latter should really drink it very diluted and take it slowly, sip by sip.
Warm regards,
Carla
Absolutely spot-on!!! Thank you for the feedback.
Warm regards,
Carla
Regards, Nicole
Thank you so much for your comment and the lovely feedback on our website and recipes! We are truly thrilled.
We wish you continued enjoyment and delight with your new blender!
Warm regards,
Carla
Thank you very much for your comment and for sharing your ginger shot recipe.
Sounds great!
Best regards,
Carla
unfortunately, I only have turmeric powder at home. How much is needed in teaspoons for the ginger turmeric shot?
Regards, Khadija.
Thank you very much for your question.
We haven't tried the ginger-turmeric shot with turmeric powder yet. Just start slowly with 1 tsp and see how it goes. Turmeric powder naturally has a different taste than the fresh root....
Please feel free to share your recipe or dosage of the powder with us.
Warm regards,
Carla
could it be that one shouldn't necessarily drink the ginger shot on an empty stomach? I have actually experienced stomach pains several times now after drinking it, but it tastes so good that I've been having some in the morning. Greetings, Sabine.
Thank you very much for your question.
I believe your body's reaction speaks volumes. Therefore, I would suggest not drinking the ginger shot on an empty stomach, at least not without diluting it significantly.
Warm regards,
Carla
Regarding your question: Not really. Ginger simply stains the plastic slightly. However, this discoloration should fade over time.
Warm regards,
Carla
I just got the Bianco di Puro Piano from you guys and received it yesterday. I just have one question about it. Is no extra water added here? Is it really enough to just put the ingredients in the blender and that's it?
Thank you for your question.
You don't need any additional water for both ginger shot recipes since you prepare them either with lemon juice or orange juice. This way, the shot will also last longer than if you were to add water.
Enjoy experimenting!
Carla
Christel
Thank you so much for your comment and the lovely feedback on our recipes. The ginger turmeric shot will definitely help you. Get well soon.
Carla
Now I experiment a lot myself - but: you have been inspiring me for years and I would like to say a big "THANK YOU" for your creativity and consistency in terms of the BEST quality! THANK YOOOOOUUUU!!!!!
With warm regards, Corinna
PS: the recipe for the Ginger-Turmeric Shot is the ultimate "immune system booster" - I already read it from you last year and it has been a "must-have" during the cold season - and it's also DELICIOUS!!!!! And as a little tip for all you imitators: please use "real" honey!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. It makes us really happy :)
Warm regards to you,
Carla
My conclusion regarding the ginger shot in the blender: it's true, this ginger shot warms up the entire body in its pure form. Therefore, caution is advised regarding its spiciness! So, I then made myself some almond milk with my Vitamix E 310 and can dilute the ginger shot to my desired strength. I'm sure it would also taste great with other vegan "milk".
Great idea - thanks for sharing.
Best regards,
Carla
the Ginger Turmeric Shot has been with us for a year now.
It has often helped me in the past year when a cold was approaching.
When I was freezing, I made myself the shot with hot water.
But the best thing is to take the shot moderately every morning on an empty stomach. That's been my experience.
Thank you very much for the recipe.
How wonderful that the ginger-turmeric shot has become such an effective daily companion for you. Thank you for your feedback.
Warm regards,
Carla
I just read your ginger shot recipe and I'm already excited about the ingredients alone. Since I already have the ingredients at home (turmeric and ginger are my daily smoothie ingredients), I will prepare the recipe right away in my high-speed blender.
By the way, you can also use turmeric with fresh or dried chili peppers instead of pepper.
Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you for your comment. How lovely that you have all the ingredients at home and can start right away. We're curious to know how you like the ginger-turmeric shot. Be careful with the dosage, as it's quite spicy :)
Warm regards,
Carla
I love both the ginger shot and the ginger turmeric shot. I always prepare them alternately. There's almost no such thing as too spicy for me. Mine turn out quite thick and creamy, especially the ginger shot. I suspect that's because I always put one of the three lemons in, skin and all. Then I take a small thermos flask with me daily as a hot "tea," or in the summer with ice cubes. Absolutely delicious and healthy.
Thank you for your comment! It's so wonderful that you enjoy the ginger shot recipes and that they have become "your daily companion."
Such a great idea for the summer!
Warm regards,
Carla
Thank you for your feedback. If you have to avoid citrus fruits, the classic ginger shot made from a slow juicer would definitely be an alternative for you. In this case, you can simply use ginger in its pure form.
Warm regards,
Carla
I am the brand-new proud owner of the Sana 707.... and with all these amazing ginger shot recipes, I simply can't decide where to begin.
On our Ingwer Shot Recipes page, we present two variations of ginger shots made with a Slow Juicer - one pure and one with a little apple to tame the spiciness. You can also add some turmeric and lemon if you like. Just give it a try.
Enjoy your Sana 707!
Warm regards,
Carla
Thank you very much for your question.
The skin of ginger also contains important nutrients. If you use organic ginger, there is no reason not to use the skin. However, you can also peel the ginger if you prefer.
Best regards,
Carla
I think it's great that there are so many recipes listed here, but I'm a bit hesitant to try them myself. If you have any comments about the taste and how the juices should be consumed (undiluted or diluted), that would be very helpful information :)
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Best regards,
Hugo
on our ginger shot page, we address the topic of dosage and usage right in the second paragraph - maybe you just overlooked the information :)
Warm regards,
Carla
Please take a look in the spam folder. They should have just been sent to you.

Carla
We will gladly send you the ginger shot recipe PDF. Please register on the Ginger Shot page.

Tried the ginger turmeric shot today – Yummy!
I directly passed on the recipe to my mother. She is a
Ginger fan and is very enthusiastic!
Kind regards to Berlin, Katharina
Thank you so much for sharing and have fun exploring with your mom!:-)
Kind regards,
Carla
I have a question about the distortion amount. How much should I have a day or per drink?
Thanks a lot
Bianka
that can't be answered in a general way, as every individual has different needs. Suggestion for the start: Dilute approx. 20 ml with 80 ml water.
Kind regards, Carla
Thanks
Thank you both for the great recipes. Love, Elisabeth
thank you for the kind feedback – we are very pleased :)
Love,
Carla
Thanks for the great tip.
I had received a shot from my friend shortly before your mail. Therefore, I was thrilled about your recipes and also already tried it out. I am very excited. We like to drink our shot undiluted. It is recommended to warm it up a little and add a touch of coconut oil, allowing the body to process the turmeric better (that's how my friend explained it to me). Thanks for your great recipes and the informative website. Ellen
