  • Grab a bowl and place a cheesecloth over it. Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth and squeeze out all the liquid.
  • If you do not have a cheesecloth, place a sieve or fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the mixture through it to separate the pulp from the liquid. Press the mixture well with a spoon to extract all the liquid. You can squeeze the liquid out. Discard the pulp so you’re left with just the liquid.
  • Pour the lemon ginger shots into small 2-ounce shot bottles. Store in the fridge and serve when ready. Keeps for 5-7 days.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm ginger for maximum zing. Avoid stringy older roots.
  • Roll lemons and oranges on the counter to release more juice.
  • Taste and adjust honey or cayenne before bottling.
  • Strain thoroughly for smooth shots, press hard to get every drop.
Storage:
  • Refrigerate in sealed 2-oz bottles or jars for up to 5-7 days. Shake well before each shot.
  • Freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or in warm water for quick use.
