Green Tea Shot Recipe (Pitcher Version)

Jameson Irish whiskey: A smooth and rich Irish whiskey that forms the base of this drink.

Peach schnapps: A sweet, peach-flavored liqueur that adds a fruity note.

Sour mix: A tangy blend of lemon and lime juices with sugar, providing a balanced tartness.

Lemon-lime soda: A fizzy, citrus-flavored soda that adds a refreshing finish.

To enhance the flavor of your green tea shot, consider chilling all the ingredients beforehand. This ensures that when you mix the jameson irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix in the pitcher, the drink remains cold and refreshing. Additionally, when you add the lemon-lime soda just before serving, it will maintain its fizz, giving your shots a delightful effervescence.

• jameson irish whiskey - Substitute with bourbon: Bourbon provides a similar depth of flavor and smoothness, making it a suitable alternative for jameson irish whiskey.

• peach schnapps - Substitute with apricot brandy: Apricot brandy offers a comparable fruity sweetness and can replicate the flavor profile of peach schnapps.

• sour mix - Substitute with lemon juice and simple syrup: Combining lemon juice and simple syrup creates a homemade sour mix that matches the tartness and sweetness needed.

• lemon-lime soda - Substitute with club soda and lime juice: Mixing club soda with a splash of lime juice can mimic the fizzy and citrusy elements of lemon-lime soda.

• To store your green tea shot mixture, pour it into an airtight container or a glass bottle with a tight-fitting lid. This will help maintain the freshness and prevent any unwanted flavors from seeping in.
• Keep the container in the refrigerator. The mixture should stay fresh for up to 3 days. The cold environment will help preserve the flavors of the jameson irish whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix.
• If you plan to store it for longer, consider freezing. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top to allow for expansion. Seal it tightly.
• When you're ready to serve, thaw the mixture in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, give it a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well combined.
• Add the lemon-lime soda just before serving to maintain its fizz and refreshing quality. This step is crucial as the soda can lose its carbonation if mixed too early.
• Serve the chilled mixture over ice in shot glasses or small cups for a refreshing and delightful experience.

• Pour the green tea shot mixture into a saucepan and gently heat over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure even warming. Do not let it boil, as this can alter the flavor.
• Alternatively, transfer the green tea shot mixture into a microwave-safe container. Heat in the microwave on medium power in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval until warmed to your liking.
• If you prefer a cold shot, simply pour the green tea shot mixture over fresh ice cubes in a shaker, shake well, and then strain into shot glasses or small cups.
• For a quick refresh, add a splash of fresh lemon-lime soda to the green tea shot mixture before serving to revive the fizz and enhance the flavor.
