A Green tea shot is a great way to kick off a fun party or gathering. Jameson green tea shots are very smooth and delicious.
Green Tea shots are the perfect mix of sweet and tangy. These shots are made with jameson, peach schnapps, sweet and sour, with a splash of sprite. Despite the name, these shots do not contain any actual green tea. Green Tea shots have been rising in popularity and continue to be a favorite in many bars and nightclubs.
The smooth taste of these shots make them easy to take. These are great shots to toast with and are perfect for those that prefer a sweet shot that does not taste like alcohol.
The first time I drank a green tea shot I admit I was leary. But I LOVED it. In fact, I served these at our monthly poker night and surprised the whole group.

The green tea shot gets its name from the color. When this shot is properly made, it has a light green/yellow color that is slightly translucent. Very similar in color to a green tea.

Green tea shots are very simple to make. This recipe requires a cocktail shaker to shake the ingredients together.

A green tea shot tastes like a sweet and sour peach drink. Despite the addition of Jameson whiskey, the flavor of the peach schnapps comes through the most. The sweet and sour adds a nice tang into the drink. The sprite brings a light hint of carbonation and extra sweetness into the shot.
