Ingredients in a White Tea Shot Recipe
- Vodka – Choose your favorite unflavored vodka. I used Tito’s.
- Peach Schnapps – This gives your shot the most flavor and is an essential ingredient.
- Sweet and Sour Mix – For best flavor, try our homemade sour mix.
- Lemon Lime Soda – To top. This gives the shot a nice fizzy texture and adds some more sweetness.
Is there tea in a White Tea Shot?
Similarly to the Green Tea Shot, there is no loose leaf tea, or tea of any kind in this sweet shot, which is a spin off of the green tea shot, named for having the appearance and color of green tea.
Directions
Begin by mixing equal parts of the vodka, peach schnapps and sweet and sour mix in a cocktail shaker with ice. Use a jigger to measure each ingredient.
Shake for 10-15 seconds.
Pour into shot glasses, the built-in strainer will strain out the ice.
Top each shot with a cold splash of lemon lime soda.
