What is Green Tea Shot?
A green tea shot is a popular mixed drink served in bars and pubs. Despite its name, it doesn’t actually contain any green tea. Instead, it’s made with a combination of Jameson Irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix. The drink is prepared by mixing these ingredients in a shaker with ice, then strained into a shot glass.
The resulting drink has a sweet and slightly tart flavor, with hints of peach and citrus from the schnapps and sour mix. Despite its simplicity, the green tea shot has gained popularity due to its refreshing taste and smooth finish. It’s often enjoyed as a quick and enjoyable way to kickstart a night out or as a fun addition to social gatherings.
