The Green Tea Shot is a popular party shot that, despite its name, contains no tea. Whiskey, peach liqueur, sour mix and a splash of lemonade together create the surprising flavor of sweet green iced tea. Quickly mixed and wonderfully refreshing, it is a guaranteed mood-lifter for the group.
Instructions
- Add the whiskey, peach liqueur and sour mix to the shaker with ice.
- Shake vigorously for about ten seconds.
- Strain into a shot glass.
- Top up with a splash of lemon lemonade.
- Serve immediately as a cool shot.
Garnish: No garnish
Pro tip: Shake the first three ingredients with ice and add the lemonade only at the very end so the lively carbonation is preserved.
Frequently asked questions
Is there really green tea in a Green Tea Shot?
No, the shot contains no tea. The combination of peach liqueur and sour mix merely creates the flavor impression of green tea.
Which whiskey works best?
Traditionally Irish whiskey such as Jameson is used, as it is mild and smooth. That pairs well with the sweetness of the peach liqueur.
Can I mix the shot as a larger drink?
Yes, simply double or triple all amounts and serve over ice in a tumbler. The shot then becomes an easy-drinking longdrink.
