White Tea Shot Recipe

Vodka: A clear distilled alcoholic beverage that forms the base of this shot.

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

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

Lemon-lime soda: A carbonated soft drink that adds a fizzy finish to the shot.

When shaking the cocktail shaker, make sure to use fresh ice to ensure the drink is properly chilled. This will enhance the flavors and provide a more refreshing shot. Additionally, when adding the lemon-lime soda, pour it gently to maintain its fizz and add a delightful effervescence to the final drink.

• vodka - Substitute with gin: Gin can provide a similar alcoholic base with a slightly different botanical flavor profile.

• vodka - Substitute with white rum: White rum offers a smooth and slightly sweet alternative that blends well with other ingredients.

• peach schnapps - Substitute with apricot brandy: Apricot brandy provides a similar fruity sweetness with a slightly richer flavor.

• peach schnapps - Substitute with peach nectar and a splash of brandy: This combination mimics the sweetness and fruitiness of peach schnapps.

• sour mix - Substitute with fresh lemon juice and simple syrup: Fresh lemon juice and simple syrup can replicate the tart and sweet balance of sour mix.

• sour mix - Substitute with lime juice and agave syrup: Lime juice and agave syrup offer a similar tartness and sweetness with a slightly different citrus note.

• lemon-lime soda - Substitute with club soda and a splash of lemon juice: Club soda with a splash of lemon juice provides the fizz and citrus flavor without added sweetness.

• lemon-lime soda - Substitute with ginger ale: Ginger ale adds a bit of spice and sweetness while maintaining the fizzy component.

• For short-term storage, keep the white tea shot mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will maintain its freshness for up to 2 days.
• If you plan to store the white tea shot for a longer period, consider freezing it. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag or container.
• When ready to serve, simply thaw the frozen white tea shot cubes in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Once thawed, give the mixture a good shake or stir to ensure it's well combined.
• Avoid storing the lemon-lime soda with the mixture. Instead, add the soda just before serving to maintain its fizz and freshness.
• If you prefer a chilled shot without diluting the flavor, store the vodka and peach schnapps in the freezer. These spirits won't freeze solid and will be ready to mix into a cold shot whenever you desire.
• Always use fresh sour mix for the best flavor. If you make your own, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within a week.
• Label your containers with the date of preparation to keep track of freshness and ensure you enjoy the white tea shot at its best quality.

• Pour the white tea shot mixture into a small saucepan.
• Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just warm. Avoid boiling to preserve the flavors.
• Alternatively, transfer the white tea shot mixture to a microwave-safe container.
• Microwave on medium power in 10-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until warmed to your liking.
• If you prefer a chilled shot, place the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
• For a quick chill, fill a cocktail shaker with ice, add the white tea shot mixture, and shake until cold. Strain into shot glasses and serve immediately.

• Cocktail shaker: Used to mix the vodka, peach schnapps, and sour mix with ice to chill the ingredients thoroughly.

• Ice: Essential for chilling the drink quickly and effectively when placed in the cocktail shaker.

• Strainer: Used to strain the mixed drink from the cocktail shaker into the shot glasses, ensuring a smooth pour without ice.

• Shot glasses: The final serving vessel for the white tea shot, where the strained mixture is poured and topped with lemon-lime soda.

• Jigger: A measuring tool to ensure precise amounts of vodka, peach schnapps, and sour mix are used.

• Bar spoon: Useful for gently adding the splash of lemon-lime soda on top of the shot to finish the drink.

Pre-chill ingredients: Keep your vodka, peach schnapps, and sour mix in the fridge so they are already cold, reducing the need for extensive shaking.

Use pre-made sour mix: Save time by using a store-bought sour mix instead of making it from scratch.

Batch preparation: Mix larger quantities of vodka, peach schnapps, and sour mix in advance, then store in the fridge for quick assembly.

Simplify with a pitcher: If making multiple shots, mix everything in a pitcher and pour into shot glasses, topping with lemon-lime soda as needed.
