A Green Tea Shot is a popular cocktail shot made with the following ingredients:

  • Irish whiskey (traditionally Jameson)
  • Peach schnapps
  • Sour mix (a combination of lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup)
  • A splash of lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite)

The typical recipe uses equal parts Irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix, shaken with ice, then poured into a shot glass about three-quarters full and topped with lemon-lime soda for a bit of sweetness and carbonation

. Despite its name, the Green Tea Shot contains no actual green tea; the name comes from its greenish color, which resembles iced green tea

. The shot tastes sweet, tangy, and peachy, with a smooth warmth from the whiskey balanced by the sour mix and the fizzy soda

. Typical proportions per shot:

  • ½ to ¾ ounce Irish whiskey
  • ½ ounce peach schnapps
  • ½ ounce sour mix
  • Splash of lemon-lime soda on top

This shot has an alcohol content around 16% ABV when made with 80-proof whiskey

. In summary, a Green Tea Shot is a sweet, peach-flavored whiskey shot with sour and citrus notes, topped with soda, and named for its green tea-like color rather than any tea content.
