There are a lot of cool things out there that make us wonder — do they really work? In our I Tried It series, we set out to use them in the real world and have determined that, in fact, they really do.

On Trial: Ethan's Fire Shots

The Tester: Danielle St. Pierre, ACV enthusiast and fan of spicy wellness shots

The Brief: As a food editor living in a city as busy, crowded, and germ-laden as New York during flu season, one of the most important parts of my health regimen is downing a daily, immunity-boosting wellness shot.

Already completely obsessed with all things apple cider vinegar, I was excited to try wellness brand Ethan's new Fire Shots this flu season. Launched this past summer, these fiery mini 2-ounce shots contain apple cider vinegar, ginger, garlic, habanero extract, spices, and a touch of honey — a recipe that has been used for years to promote immune function.

Ethan's makes a whole line of wellness shots — they span from MCT shots designed to help boost brain function, to natural energy shots. These Fire Shots are formulated specifically to boost the immune system by targeting your gut health, and they come in two flavors: Original and Citrus. The Original Fire Shot is incredibly spicy — as in, you really feel the heat from the horseradish, garlic, and habanero in the back of your throat — and the citrus is just slightly sweeter.

Be warned: Both have a major kick.

In case you're new to the whole ACV thing, here's a little more background. Apple cider vinegar is a potent detoxifying ingredient and a versatile kitchen staple. It’s sort of the jack-of-all-trades when it comes to its long list of health benefits. Beyond its detoxifying properties, ACV is also a powerful, natural, all-purpose cleaning agent, it can be used to help clean and whiten teeth, and can support the growth and health of skin, nails, and hair. Thanks to its high concentration of acetic acid, apple cider vinegar can help with digestion, improve complexion, reduce bloating, and naturally increase energy levels.

So, if you're feeling sluggish, your gut health needs a reset, or you're feeling a cold coming on, I highly recommend incorporating a wellness shot that contains apple cider vinegar into your diet. Ethan's Fire Shots are a tasty place to start.

Closing Argument: These 2-ounce Fire Shots are a deliciously spicy way to start adding apple cider vinegar into your diet. Your gut health will thank you!
