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.

The green tea shot is a mix of equal parts Irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix, finished with a splash of citrus soda. It tastes like a sweet-sour whiskey drink with a peachy twist and a bit of carbonation from the lemon-lime soda.
Can I Make This As a Cocktail Instead Of a Shot?
Of course you can! Double the ingredient portions and sip it from a rocks glass over ice. For a garnish, add a slice of lime.
How Do I Store a Green Tea Shot?
Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and kept in the fridge for no longer than three days. Freezing is not recommended.
