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.

Tips for Making

Garnish ideas: lime wedge, lemon wedge, orange wedge, fresh mint sprig.
Have you ever tried making your own sour mix? It’s fun and really fresh and tasty.
If you don’t have vodka on hand, you can substitute it for white rum, tequila or gin.
Freeze your shot glasses ahead of time for an even colder shot.
Substitutions: If you don’t have sour mix on hand, you can sub for simple syrup with either fresh lemon juice or fresh lime juice added.

White Tea Shot Variations

Green Tea Shot – Swap vodka for Irish whiskey and you’ve got a classic green tea shot.
White Tea shot with rum – Swap to vodka for rum for this variation.

White Tea Cocktail – If you don’t like shots and prefer to sip your drink, you can turn this recipe into a cocktail easily. Just double the recipe and pour it into a cocktail glass instead of a shot glass.
