FAQs

Can I make these smoothie shots ahead of time?

While they are best served fresh, you can prepare and refrigerate them for up to a day. Shake or stir well before drinking.

Can I substitute fresh ginger with ground ginger?

Fresh ginger provides a brighter, more vibrant flavor. Ground ginger can be used in a pinch but use less—start with about 1/4 teaspoon—and adjust to taste.
