What's in a classic green tea shot recipe

This classic green tea shot are a breeze to make! All you need are equal portions of whisky, peach schnapps, and sweet and sour mix.

Add in a little lemon-lime soda for a nice fizz! You can grab all of these ingredients from your local liquor store or grocery stores.

• 2 ounces Irish whiskey: Jameson whiskey is my top choice because the distillery actually invented the drink! However, you can use another whiskey if you prefer. If you're making less, use 1 ounce instead of two.
• 2 ounces Peach schnapps: Is a peach liqueur that is has a fruity flavor. The fruity flavor derives from distilled peaches. The alcohol content is between 15 and 20% so a little goes a long way. You can cut this down to 1 ounce if making single shots.
• 2 ounces Sweet and sour mix: You can purchase this at a local store or make your own sweet and sour mix at home. It is a simple mix of sugar and water with lemon-lime juice.
• Splash of lemon-lime soda: Use Sprite or 7up for a sweeter drink. You can use sparkling lemonade if you want the drink to be on the sour side. This inclusion is really to subdue the drink and give it a lighter taste.

How to make Jameson green tea shots

Add your ice to a cocktail shaker or a large glass.

Pour in the Irish whisky, peach schnapps (which is a peach liqueur), sweet and sour mix, and Sprite or 7up.

If using a cocktail shaker, add some ice cubes, place the lid on and shake vigorously for 10 seconds until everything is mixed well.

If you are using a large glass, use a spoon and mix the ingredients for about 10 seconds, until everything is fully combined.

Pour the mixture into individual shot glasses.

VARIATIONS:

MAKE A GREEN TEA MOCKTAIL:

Want a nonalcoholic version? Simply replace the alcohol with lime juice. Even better, replace the alcohol with actual green tea!

Mix all of the ingredients accordingly, but instead of adding the liquor, you can add the green tea and or lime juice.

WHITE TEA SHOTS:

Instead of using whiskey, replace it with vodka for a white tea shot. Aside from the color difference, white tea shots are sweeter than green tea shots.

The white tea shots are sweeter because vodka has a naturally sweeter taste than whiskey.

LEMON JUICE

Classic green tea shots call for lemon lime soda. Instead of the Sprite or 7UP in, you can use lemon juice.

Just add about half of a tablespoon to your cocktail shaker. If you want it more sour, add more lemon juice. If you want it less sour, cut it down to one teaspoon.

You can also add a bit of simple syrup to help sweeten up the shot a bit. To make simple syrup you just add equal parts sugar and water to a sauce pan and heat it up until the sugar is dissolved.
