This is a recipe for a potent digestive shot OR a mocktail if you add some sparkling water to it. The more peel you add, the more bitter, the less peel, the less bitter. Just be sure to really wash your citrus. If it’s too bitter for you in the end, just add in some more orange!
Bitter citrus peels help with digestion. Bitter foods in general help with digestion and a healthier microbiome, so it’s good to incorporate more bitter foods into our diet. The bad bugs inside us do not like bitter, so all the more reason to incorporate them more! Some bitter foods: citrus zest/peel, grapefruit, ginger, fennel, arugula, dandelion greens, parsley, radicchio, cranberries
Digestive Shot Or Mocktail
Makes around 24 oz. Plenty for 3 days worth of digestive shots for 2 and mocktails.
Ingredients
- 2 oranges, leave 1/2-1 whole peel on one (I leave one)
- 1 grapefruit, add a small piece of grapefruit peel
- 1 lemon, leave peel on, I cut in half and remove seeds
- 1” ginger
- 1 larger fennel bulb
- Optional add-ins to stir in at the end, cinnamon and/or clove – also good for digestion
- Sparkling water if turning into a mocktail
Method
- Wash & cut the produce into the appropriate sizes for your juicer.
- Run the produce through your juicer.
- Drink as a potent 2 oz shot for the most benefits, but you could also mix with sparkling water for a mocktail. Again, add a bit more orange if it is too potent for you.

If you are in the market for a juicer, code RIANE55 saves $55 off the Nama J2 Juicer. You can also use the same code RIANE55 to save off the accessories & attachments to personalize your experience. There is a reason so many influencers (BTW, I hate that word, but I realize I am one 😂) have the juicer. It really is the best! Nama is also an amazing company doing good things; they do not just care about the profit. I am so grateful to be an affiliate of theirs and work with such a caring company.
