Kick the Sniffles: Springtime Ginger Shots with a Zing 🌿🍋

Allergies acting up? You're not alone. As the flowers bloom and the pollen flies, many of us are reaching for tissues — and a little natural relief. Enter: the mighty ginger shot. 🔥

This quick, invigorating blend packs a serious punch and is loaded with ingredients known to help reduce inflammation and give your immune system a lift. With our Turmeric Ginger Salt bringing bold flavor and trace minerals to the mix, these shots aren’t just healthy — they’re deliciously addictive.

💪 Why This Works:

  • Ginger & turmeric: A legendary duo for inflammation and digestion.

  • Citrus power: Lemon and orange deliver a one-two punch of vitamin C and bright, zesty flavor.

  • Cucumber: Cooling, hydrating, and great for calming inflammation.

  • Sea salt: Adds trace minerals and helps your body absorb nutrients more effectively — not to mention, it wakes up the whole drink.

🥤 What You’ll Need:

  • 5 inches fresh ginger (peel if you like, or keep it rustic)

  • 1 cucumber

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 big orange, peeled

  • 1 tablespoon Saltery’s Turmeric Ginger Salt

  • 8 oz cold water

🌟 Optional Add-ins:

Got fruit or veggies lying around? Toss them in!
Carrots, apples, pineapple, celery, even spinach — they’re all fair game in this nutrient-packed shot.

🌀 How to Make It:

  1. Roughly chop the ginger, cucumber, and orange.

  2. Add everything (including the lemon juice, Turmeric Ginger Salt, and water) to a high-speed blender.

  3. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth if you prefer a silky shot.

  4. Pour into shot glasses or small jars and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Take 1–2 oz in the morning for an immune-boosting wake-up call, or whenever you need a natural pick-me-up.
