Bragg pretty much owns the apple cider vinegar category (Goli has been coming on strong with its influencer-assisted gummies). But this isn't just organic ACV, tangy though it may taste. There’s also apple juice, honey, ginger and turmeric. Combined, the non-GMO formulation is said to help control appetite and manage weight gain, help maintain healthy blood-sugar levels and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. SRP: $14.50/4-pack
This brand knows what it’s doing—these are potent, strong shots! This cold-pressed organic juice blend is really very gingery, which is what you want in a ginger shot, right? Made in Brooklyn in environmentally nice recyclable glass (with print right on the glass; no labels) in 100% plastic-free packaging in boxes made from recyclable materials. And did we mention the out-of-this-world ginger vibes? Whoa! SRP: $48/12-pack
This 99% juice shot is meant to ready the drinker for sleep. The shot contains just organic tart cherry juice concentrate—a natural source of melatonin—and organic chamomile tea extract. It tastes great, you can really taste the cherry. It actually would taste pretty good in a mocktail. SRP: $3.29
These shots are dee-licious! The brand has five immunity shots, all of them organic and cold-pressed juice. The elderberry also contains blood orange juice, apple juice and a solid dose of 1 billion CFU of the GanedenBC30 probiotic strain.
Ashwagandha and beet root power this salty, spicy formulation that has a kick thanks to just enough cayenne pepper. Non-GMO, caffeine-free, no added sugar. Give it a good shake before opening. Kind of tastes a bit like a bloody Mary shot—AdaptoMary, anyone? SRP: $59.99/12-pack

Pioneering brand 5-hour Energy, which started as a caffeine-forward energy beverage, still dominates the shot category. But today, brands are providing shots that address a wide range of health concerns. Now’s the time to expand your shot set.
