Storage Tips for Your Ginger Shots

Keep your ginger shots fresh in the fridge for up to a week. Use a small jar with a tight lid. Freezing works too—pour into ice cube trays for single servings. *Fun fact*: I once forgot a batch for 10 days—still smelled zesty! Batch-cooking? Double the recipe, but skip the cayenne until serving. Why this matters: Freshness fades fast, so small batches win. Ever tried freezing yours? Share your hack below!

Fix Common Ginger Shot Problems

Too spicy? Add extra pineapple or a spoon of honey. If it’s bitter, your ginger might be old—pick firm, shiny roots. Straining too slow? Use a cheesecloth over the sieve. Why this matters: Tiny tweaks save time and taste. My neighbor swore hers was “fire” until she added honey. What’s your biggest ginger-shot struggle?
