Paan Shot recipe is a refreshing and aromatic drink generally served after meals as a substitute for Paan. When made with readymade Paan, it gets ready in a jiffy. However, if it is not available, even then you can easily make it with few ingredients.

Paan shot is just like drinking Paan instead of eating it and you can call it Paan Sharbat or Paan Shake as well.

Paan needs no introduction. A very refreshing betel leaf mouth freshener. As you all know it is a very common practice in our culture to serve Paan after meals. Paan after sumptuous meals is considered a delicacy also.... a sign of being a perfect host.

Almost all the parties at my home have this in the end and  I win loads of applause from my guests.

Benefits of Paan

If had in moderation, Paan aids in digestion also and promotes oral health.

Varieties of Paan

Paan is available in many varieties like plain, Banarsi, Meetha.

With time many more flavors have been added to it like chocolate paan, Rasmalai paan, etc.

But my favorite is Meetha paan only though hubby likes Saada (Plain).

In fact, Meetha Paan is no less than a dessert, filled with rose petal jam (gulkand), cardamom, fennel seeds,  coconut flakes, glazed cherries, etc.

Why Make Paan Shots?

• There are people who don't like chewing Paan for various reasons though like its flavor.
• As Meetha Paan is slightly bigger in size, some even find it difficult to put it in the mouth in one go.
• I know somebody, who eats Meetha Paan with a spoon.
