What Is Bee Propolis, And Why Is It In My Shot?

Our current recipe

You probably know honey and beeswax. Bee propolis is a little less familiar. Bees gather resin from plants and use this sticky material to seal small gaps in their hive.

Our not so secret ingredient

Louise first read about bee propolis while looking for something new to put in her own ginger and turmeric shots. A few kitchen experiments later, The Shot Club was born in Holt, North Norfolk.

How we use it

Our current recipe contains 0.2% bee propolis extract, made with propylene glycol and propolis resin. It is part of our ginger and turmeric blend, alongside raw Norfolk honey, lemon and the other ingredients listed below.

A note on allergies

Contains honey and bee propolis. Not suitable for infants under 12 months. Avoid if allergic to bee products. Made in a kitchen that handles nuts and oats. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication, check with your GP first.

Keep frozen, shake well

We freeze our shots on the day we make them. Keep frozen for up to six months, then move a bottle to the fridge the night before. Shake well and take one chilled 60ml shot daily. Our 300ml bottle is a five day supply.
