Ingredients
Scale

- 2 oranges, peeled
- 3 lemons, peeled
Roots and Spices
- ½ pound fresh ginger, washed and chopped
- 1 medium fresh turmeric, washed and chopped
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch black pepper
Liquids
- ½ cup coconut water (or filtered water)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Peel the oranges and lemons carefully, removing all skin and pith for a smooth, less bitter shot. Wash and chop the fresh ginger and turmeric to prepare them for blending.
- Blend the Mixture: Place the peeled oranges, lemons, chopped ginger, turmeric, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and coconut water into a blender. Blend on high speed for 20 to 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Strain the Juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, nut milk bag, or cheesecloth into a large measuring cup. Use a spoon to press down the pulp or squeeze the bag/cloth to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the leftover pulp.
- Store and Serve: Pour the strained ginger turmeric shots into small glass bottles or serving glasses. Serve immediately for maximum freshness or refrigerate for up to 4 days to enjoy later.

- Consume shots within 4 days when refrigerated for optimal freshness and potency.
