Comparison
Homemade ginger shot or concentrate?
The homemade shot is the pleasure of making it yourself. GIMBER is the same ritual on the days when you don't have time.
| Homemade shot | GIMBER shot | |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients | Fresh ginger, often lemon, sometimes honey. | Organic ginger from Peru, lemon and herbs, already in the bottle. |
| Preparation | Peel and cut the root, then put it through a juicer, or blend and strain. | Shake the bottle, pour 20 ml. That's it. |
| Equipment | A knife, a juicer or a blender, a fine strainer. | A small glass. |
| Storage | Make it in small batches, it doesn't keep long. | 60 days in the fridge once the bottle is open. |
| Dose and taste | It changes from one root to the next, that's part of its charm. | 20 ml every time, the same taste from one shot to the next. |

The guide
The ginger shot, no juicer needed
A homemade ginger shot takes a root, a tool and a bit of time. With a concentrate, all that's left is the best part: drinking it.
What is a ginger shot?
A ginger shot is a small dose of ginger served in a small glass and drunk in one go. It's often made with freshly pressed root. With GIMBER, the dose is ready to pour.
Pure ginger or concentrate?
A pure ginger shot is root juice and nothing else. GIMBER is a concentrate: organic ginger from Peru (33% in the Original, 40% in the Brut), with lemon and herbs that round off the heat.
Why 20 ml?
It's the dose for one glass of GIMBER, the same as for a Fizz or a Hottie. As a shot, it goes down in one or two sips, and a 700 ml bottle gives you 35.
A ritual, whenever suits you
In the morning to start the day with a kick, at drinks time to raise a glass, at the office between two meetings. No alcohol in it, so no set time either.

Ginger shot questions
All FAQsHow do you make a ginger shot without a juicer?
With a concentrate. Pour 20 ml of GIMBER into a small glass, neat or over ice: nothing to peel, squeeze or blend. If you're starting from fresh ginger, a blender and a fine strainer will also do the job.
Is a ginger shot in the morning a good idea?
Many people make it a morning ritual, for the taste and the kick. But there's no set time: served on a tray at drinks time, it fits right in too.
How many shots in a bottle?
35 shots of 20 ml in a 700 ml bottle, 25 in a 500 ml bottle.
How do you make a homemade ginger shot?
The classic recipe: peeled fresh ginger, put through a juicer or blended then strained, often with lemon. With GIMBER, the base is already done: 20 ml, and if you like you add a squeeze of lemon, a touch of honey or a pinch of chilli.
Is GIMBER pure ginger?
No, it's a concentrate: organic ginger from Peru (33% in the Original, 40% in the Brut), with lemon and herbs. For a shot that's closer to pure ginger, go for the Brut.
Which GIMBER should you choose for a shot?
N°1 Original for a bold shot, N°2 Brut for more ginger and less sugar.
Can you dilute a ginger shot?
Yes. A splash of still or sparkling water softens the heat. With 150 ml of sparkling water and ice, it's no longer a shot, it's a GIMBER Fizz.
Does a GIMBER ginger shot contain alcohol?
No. GIMBER is alcohol-free, 0% alcohol, like the whole range. The shot works at the office as well as at drinks time.
