Ingredients
  

For the Green Tea Shot
  • 0.5 oz Irish Whiskey (Jameson preferred) The foundation of the drink, providing warm, oaky notes.
  • 0.5 oz Peach Schnapps Delivers the signature sweet, fruity essence.
  • 0.5 oz Sour Mix Adds the tangy counterbalance.
  • splash Sprite or Lemon-Lime Soda For effervescence (optional, for serving).
  • Ice For chilling the shaker and serving.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather cocktail shaker, jigger, Hawthorne strainer, and chilled shot glasses. For a professional touch, freeze shot glasses for 15 minutes before serving.
Mixing
  1. Add Irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix to the shaker.
  2. Fill shaker halfway with ice cubes, seal, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
Serving
  1. Strain evenly into chilled shot glasses. (Optional) Serve over ice with a splash of lemon-lime soda. Decorate with a mint leaf or peach slice if desired.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, replace whiskey with brewed and cooled green tea and use peach nectar instead of schnapps. Store pre-mixed ingredients in the refrigerator up to 3 days, adding sour mix just before serving.
