The recipe for these pineapple citrus ginger juice shots is our go to pick-me-up juice for the colder months! Made using an at-home juicer with fresh pineapple, oranges or tangerines, lemon, ginger, and turmeric. It is bright, refreshing, and easy to make in a big batch to enjoy throughout the week!
Our go-to bright and vibrant homemade juice shots
These pineapple citrus ginger juice shots are our main juicing jam around here, especially during the winter months when we’re craving something bright and fresh that takes advantage of all the ripe citrus.
We actually purchased our first juicer just so we could make this juice!
Make them on Sunday, and enjoy them every morning throughout the week. Like a little juicy present you get to unwrap for yourself at the start of each day ❤️
🍊 One of our other favorite homemade juices? This Fresh Carrot, Apple, and Orange Juice with Ginger which is a real must-make for fresh juice lovers. If you don’t have a juicer, or don’t feel like pulling it out we also have a couple of blender juice recipes – a 5-Minute Blended Citrus Juice (that doesn’t require any straining!), 3-Ingredient Watermelon Lime Juice (such a hit in the summer months), and a Blender Green Juice that’s full of all kinds of wholesome ingredients.
A quick note on ingredients
There’s quite a bit of ginger in this juice! So they can be pretty ginger-spicy. I’ve included a quantity range in the recipe card so that you can adjust according to your preference. We usually use 1/2 cup sliced ginger.
The sweetness of the pineapple and oranges helps round out the ginger, while the acidity of the lemon brightens the flavor. A ripe, sweet pineapple will also help keep everything nicely balanced.
Handle turmeric carefully
When you’re handling turmeric make sure to watch out for stains. The bright orange hue can easily stain your fingers, fingernails, dish towels, counters and cutting boards.
You may want to wear gloves if you’re worried about staining your hands, and dish towels you don’t mind getting stained!
If you enjoyed this juice I’d love it if you would take a moment to rate and review it below! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It’s also a great place for questions, and super helpful for other readers if you share any modifications you made to the recipe.
Thank you for sharing your kitchen with NK. We’re so grateful you’re here!

Pineapple Citrus Ginger Juice Shots
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 12 shots 1x
- Diet: Dairy-Free
Description
The recipe for these pineapple citrus ginger juice shots is our go to pick-me-up juice for the colder months! Made using an at-home juicer with fresh pineapple, oranges or tangerines, lemon, ginger, and turmeric. It is bright, refreshing, and easy to make in a big batch to enjoy throughout the week!
Ingredients
- 4 oranges, or 8 tangerines
- 1 large pineapple, or about 5 cups of cut pineapple
- 4 lemons
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh turmeric
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh ginger
Instructions
- Start by prepping the ingredients for the juice. If you’re using a whole pineapple, cut the peel away and cut the fruit into small enough pieces to fit through the feeding tube. Peel with your hands or cut away the peel of the oranges and separate (or cut) into segments. If you want to reduce any bitter flavor that may be passed on from the pith of the orange I recommend removing as much of it as you can. Cut the peel off the lemons the same way as the oranges and cut into quarters. Wash and thinly slice the ginger and turmeric.
- Pass all of the ingredients through your juicer. Transfer juice to a large sealed pitcher or mason jar and store in the refrigerator. You can also divide it into shots in individual sized serving jars before refrigerating for convenience throughout the week!
Notes
This juice should keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

This looks delicious! Quick question: is a juicer absolutely necessary or could I follow this recipe with a blender? (I’m still learning my way around the kitchen so not sure if the equipment I have on hand, blender and a food processor, would work for this recipe.) Thank you for all your recipes!
Nyssa Tanner says
Hi Raquel! I haven’t tested it myself using a blender, but you could definitely try it using a method similar to the one I use in this recipe for Green Juice in a Blender. As I did in that recipe, you might want to add a little water with the ingredients to get things moving properly through the blender blades, and you’ll likely need to blend it in two batches. And then strain it through a fine mesh strainer to remove all the fibrous bits from the mixture. I hope that’s helpful, and I’d love to hear back on how it turns out if you give it a try 🙂 – Nyssa

Delicious – i added a few more oranges as my pineapple wasn’t real sweet. I didn’t add as much ginger or tumeric becuase i was making it for my small grandchildren too. I added a small amount of honey too
Nyssa Tanner says
Those sound like the perfect modifications! Love hearing that you and your grandchildren enjoyed this juice. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! – Nyssa
Lacey says
Can these be put in the freezer
Nyssa Tanner says
Hi Lacey! Yes these shots could absolutely be frozen until you’re ready to thaw and enjoy.

I love th little glass jars with the cork lids. Can you share where you got these? Thanks for sharing this recipe.
Nyssa Tanner says
Ohh it’s been awhile but I think I found them at Urban Outfitters?

I’m sure we all could use some immunity boosters during these strange times we are living… and this one actually looks like it would test amazing. Definitely giving it a try! Thanks for the recipe Nyssa 🙂
Nyssa Tanner says
So true! We need all the immune boosting we can get. The ginger and lemon are punchy but the sweetness of the citrus and the pineapple bring it all together so nicely 🙂 I do hope you enjoy them!
