Easy Green Tea Shot Recipe - greenteashot.org

The first time I encountered the Jameson Green Tea Shot was during a lively gathering of friends at a cozy bar in Dublin. The evening was filled with laughter, storytelling, and the clinking of glasses. Amidst the jovial atmosphere, our bartender, a master of his craft, presented us with this intriguing shot. Its striking green hue and promise of a harmonious fusion of ingredients piqued our curiosity.

The original Green Tea Shot (also popularly known as a “Jameson Green Tea”) is a famous whiskey-based drink with peach schnapps. Pretentious mixologists would sneer at the combination of ingredients (and the name) but it’s really a good balance of sweet and sour that can be particularly refreshing in the summers. The name stems from its green tint, not its components. So if you’re anticipating an alcoholic drink with green tea in it, you may be startled to find there is no green tea in a Green Tea Shot.
