Green Tea Shot Recipe
To concoct a Green Tea Shot, you will need the following components:
- 1/2 oz Peach Schnapps
- 1/2 oz Jameson Irish Whiskey
- 1/2 oz Sour Mix
To take this delicious shot, do it so with these steps in making it:
- Get Your Ingredients: Be sure to have Peach Schnapps, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and Sour Mix available. This cocktail is mixed together to create the unique flavor that is a Green Tea Shot.
- Prepare Your Shot Glass: Take a clean and dry shot glass. For that extra refreshing feeling, you can even drop the glass in the freezer but just for a few moments.
- Measure Peach Schnapps: Pour 1/2 oz of Peach Schnapps into the shot glass from the jigger or measuring tool. This sweet liqueur forms the base of your Green Tea Shot, giving it some fruity undertones.
- Adding Jameson Irish Whiskey: Now, add 1/2 oz of Jameson Irish Whiskey to the shot glass. Whiskey adds subtle smoothness with just a bit of smokiness to balance out the sweetness from the Peach Schnapps.
- Add Sour Mix: Finally, 1/2 oz of the sour mix in the shot glass. The sour mix adds a tangy and citrusy flavor that raises the overall taste of the cocktail.
- Layering Technique (Optional): For a more organic look, some bartenders prefer layering. Pour them slowly over the back of a spoon so each element settles in distinct layers.
- Serve and Enjoy: The Green Tea Shot is usually served quick as a flavorful shot best enjoyed in one to get sweetness, smokiness, and sourness.
- Play Around with It: While this classic recipe tastes wonderful just the way it is, don't be afraid to experiment for variances. You could add a little lemon-lime soda or even switch up the whiskey brand to change the flavor.
- Presentation Tips: Add a lemon twist or peach slice to garnish the shot for added enhancement. Not only does this look good, but it will also imbibe extra flavor.
- Enjoy Responsibly: With this Green Tea Shot, just like with any other alcoholic drink, be sure to enjoy it responsibly. Be aware of your drinking limits and never drink and drive.
