    Many of Apple Cider Vinegar’s health benefits come from the fact that it’s so acidic, but that also brings about its biggest downfall too. Drinking it straight can actually erode the enamel of your teeth over time, so it’s important to dilute it. This recipe not only helps with preventing that problem, but it will make the pungent liquid a little tastier too.

    Some people suggest that drinking ACV before meals is the way to go, while others say its best first thing in the morning. This shot has lemon in it, which will give your whole system a good kick right when you wake up. If you’re looking for a healthy way to shake up your routine, look no further than this powerful little shot.

    Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar Shots

    There are so many health benefits to incorporating Apple Cider Vinegar into your diet. The vinegar itself actually contains quite a few vitamins and minerals like Potassium, Calcium, Iron and Vitamins A and C. But there are also claims that it can help in quite a few other ways. While there isn’t much scientific evidence behind it, there’s a reason people have sworn by it for thousands of years. It has been said to help with weight loss, digestion and even improving your skin! It also works as a natural laxative and energy booster.

    Ingredients for Apple Cider Vinegar Drink

    Apple Cider Vinegar Shots ingredients on the counter.
    • Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar is made from fermenting apples, but you don’t have to worry about doing that yourself. It’s pretty easy to find in stores and online. The most notable brand being Bragg.
    • Sweetener: Honey is the best sweetener for this recipe, because it brings in its own pleasant taste and health benefits, like being packed with antioxidants. However, if you’re not a honey fan, or don’t have it on hand, you can try other alternatives like Stevia or coconut sugar.
    • Lemon: Not only does lemon add a nice citrus tang to this drink, the fruit also has properties that assist with weight loss. It’s the perfect complement to ACV and a great way to get some extra Vitamin C in your diet.
    • Water: Warm water will work best for this recipe, so it will break down the ingredients to mix them smoothly, but you won’t have to wait for it to cool before drinking it.

It has also been noted to cause a feeling of fullness, albeit some people may experience nausea too. The results are not drastic and have not been concluded to be long-lasting.

      I also added a dash of cinnamon to that. Very good. JW if a person could mix up a bigger batch to save a few minutes in the morning?

      Thank you for the base recipe. I am working the KETO diet so honey was a no-go for me at this time.
      I made a couple of alterations, like Lime juice instead of lemon and a sugar free coffee syrup (raspberry) in place of the honey. I will miss out on the honey benefits, but the carb count is a problem at the moment ;-(

      Since I didn’t use honey, I was able to use cool water and as such there was no wait time.

      Very palatable and easy to take and I will be adding this to my daily regimen.
