Choosing ginger shots
Ginger shots are small, concentrated drinks made from pressed ginger root, usually with lemon, apple or other fruit to balance the heat. A slice of fresh ginger in hot water gives some of the same flavour, so a shot earns its place on convenience and a punchier taste. Look for a high share of real ginger, a short ingredient list and no added sugar beyond fruit juice. Fighter Shots makes the range here, with ginger and beetroot, ginger and pomegranate, and carrot, ginger and turmeric shots. Most shots are around 60ml, which is one or two mouthfuls. Every drink here met our standard on ingredients and transparency.
Turmeric shots and wellness shots
Turmeric shots combine ginger with turmeric root and usually black pepper, giving an earthy, warming taste. Fighter Shots makes ginger and turmeric wellness shots, and its range of wellness shots also includes ginger with manuka honey and ginger with marine collagen. Shake the bottle before drinking, as the root settles, and keep shots in the fridge once opened. Some contain honey or collagen, so check each listing if you are vegan.
Sparkling botanical drinks
For something longer, Catalyse Life Drinks makes sparkling botanical waters such as blood orange and juniper, and ginger and hibiscus, plus a daily ritual sampler. Punchy makes mango and Mexican lime soft drinks and electrolyte drink sachets in wild berry and tropical flavours. A tonic water from Pentire's range makes a good mixer for alcohol-free spirits. Sachets travel well and mix into a bottle of water at the gym or on a long walk.
How to fit shots into your day
Most people drink a ginger shot in the morning, either straight or diluted with water if the heat is too much. You can also add a shot to hot water with lemon, or stir one into a smoothie or a salad dressing for extra zing. A ginger shots multipack in the fridge makes the habit easy to keep. Kombucha has tart fermented drinks, Tea has ginger and herbal blends, and Low & No Alcohol has spirits and spritzes for the evening.
