If you feel a touch of the sniffles coming on, don’t reach for the DayQuil. Take Fruit Vibe’s Organic Hot Shot ($4), a 2-ounce elixer of ginger and lemon concentrate with the addition of the infection-fighting herb echinacea. Co-owners James Ryan, Sam Rego and Austin Snyder got a taste of its potency when they discovered a similar version at a Philadelphia juice shop. “We went back three days in a row because we felt so good after drinking it,” says Rego. He notes it also aids in the growth of hair and nails while settling an uneasy stomach. “It’s kind of like taking a shot of tequila,” says Rego, “but spicy without the burn.” 216-712-1919, fruitvibejuice.com
