Green Tea Shot Ingredients

Wondering what’s in a green shot? Just a few ingredients: Whiskey, Peach Pucker Schnapps, Sweet and Sour Mix and Lemon-lime Soda.

Green Tea Drink

Created by the Jameson Whiskey Company, this green tea drink doesn’t actually contain any green tea. The name was derived from the fact it’s green colored and looks like green tea. Go figure!

Jameson Green Tea Shot

Since Jameson Whiskey invented the drink, it’s the recommended whiskey brand to use. If you don’t have Jameson feel free to use your preference. American or Canadian whiskey will work just fine.

How To Make A Green Tea Shot

Only a few quick steps stand between you and a this green shooter:

• Fill a cocktail shaker with ice followed by the whiskey, peach schnapps, sweet and sour mix. Shake well for 15-20 seconds.
• Pour the mixture into a shot glass, top with lemon-lime soda and shoot away!

Green Tea Cocktail

To turn this into a green tea cocktail, just serve in a martini glass and top it off with extra lemon lime soda. Or just double the ingredients to keep the drink stiff.

White Tea Shot vs Green Tea Shot

The green tea shots recipe uses whiskey while the white tea shot recipe uses vodka. Hence the difference in color.

When To Serve

• St. Patrick’s Day
• Bachelorette Party
• Baby Shower
• Sunday Funday Brunch
• Birthday Parties
• Girls Night

Variations

It’s always fun to mix things up! Here are a few ideas:

• Mix up the Pucker! Try strawberry schnapps or mango schnapps. Here are other schnapps flavors to consider.
• Top it off with lemonade instead of lemon-lime soda for an extra sugary touch. 

Cocktail Shaker Replacement

Don’t have a cocktail shaker? No worries – just add everything into a large cup with ice and stir until mixed. Then pour the liquid out to a shot glass as you don’t want the ice watering down the shot. A mason jar with a lid would be idea as well.

Drink Tips

• Scale up and make a “party punch”. Add the whiskey, peach schnapps, vodka and sweet and sour mix to a large pitcher and stir. When ready to serve, shake in a cocktail shaker to chill and top with lemon-lime soda before serving.
• To keep the shot from getting water logged, keep the soda and sweet and sour mix in the refrigerator to chill hours before making. 
• This shot recipe also work well with diet sodas.
