Green Tea Shots Recipe: A Vibrant Cocktail Choice!

There’s no tea or anything remotely healthy in this shot, but it’s definitely easier to drink than a shot of green juice with matcha. The Green Tea Shot is made with Irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sweet-and-sour mix, topped with a splash of lemon-lime soda.

It’s a popular choice for parties. You can also double the ingredients and serve it in a rocks glass over ice as a cocktail. Its sweet and sour flavor is a crowd-pleaser, making it perfect for get-togethers with friends.

The shot is refreshing, slightly fizzy, and has a balanced sweet and sour taste, ideal for summer. Freeze your shot glasses ahead of time before serving the drinks for an extra refreshing touch.

Green Tea Shots Recipe

The Green Tea Shot is bright and refreshing, despite not actually containing any tea. It's named for its green tea-like color.

The main taste is peach, with the whiskey adding a warm, rich note. This shot is sweet, pleasant, and easy to drink. You don't need a chaser, but you can add a lime wedge or a sugar-dipped wedge if you like.
