Description
The Green Tea Shot is a smooth and delicious whiskey-based cocktail that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Despite its name, this vibrant green shot contains no actual green tea! Instead, it features a balanced blend of Irish whiskey, peach schnapps, sour mix, and a splash of lemon-lime soda. With its sweet, tangy, and lightly fizzy taste, it’s a crowd-pleasing favorite at parties and gatherings.

Notes
- For an extra-refreshing experience, chill your shot glasses before serving.
- If you prefer a homemade sour mix, combine equal parts fresh lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Adjust the sweetness by using a sugar-free lemon-lime soda or substituting with club soda and a squeeze of fresh citrus.
- Garnish with a thin lime slice or a mint sprig for added flair.
- Make a non-alcoholic version by replacing the whiskey and schnapps with peach syrup and a touch of vanilla extract.
