What is it?
The Jameson green tea shooter isn't going to help you curve heart disease, it has no actual tea.
It's a very 'summer' cocktail, tangy and sweet with a fruity flavor and a hint of fizz. It's a sweet shot and great cocktail if you add some extra lemon-lime soda.
Ingredients
Peach schnapps. This is a peach liqueur that you can find in any liquor store. It has a strong peachy flavor that is also quite sweet.
Whiskey.
Sweet and Sour mix. This is a mix of lemon and lime juice (the sour flavor) and simple syrup with a yellow and greenish color. You'll be able to find it in most grocery stores or your local liquor store.
Lemon lime soda. A splash of sprite gives us a little sweet fizziness that I really enjoy in this drink.
How to Make a Green Tea Shot
For this simple whiskey shot, put ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, add the peach schnapps, whiskey, and sweet and sour mix. Shake well and then pour into shot glasses.
Then top with the bubbly lemon lime soda. Enjoy with a lime garnish!
