Make your own wellness shots at home! These Watermelon Ginger Wellness Shots are a fruity homemade shot. A bright and hydrating drink.
I have been making wellness shots on the regular for a while now. I love the idea of store bought shots, but I don't love the price point. The good news is that you can make them at home in just a few minutes.
My original recipe is these ginger shots. But I've been loving experimenting with new flavors. This watermelon version is absolutely delicious. It's more sweet and mellow than my original version, and incredibly hydrating.

Elizabeth's Kitchen Notes
- A balanced shot: I find myself reaching for the fruity versions of my wellness shots more often because it is sweeter and more balanced than my plain ginger version. If you're just starting out, these shots are a great intro
- My shot routine: I take one shot before bed each night. Ginger is great for digestion and sleep, so before bed is the optimal time. When I run out, I spend a few minutes making my next batch - it truly only takes a few minutes. Then I pop them into these little shot glasses for easy portions all week.
