    If you're looking for an easy shot vodka shot to make or order next time you're out, this classic white tea shot recipe requires only a few simple ingredients and it's delicious.

    You’ll love this white tea shot

    It's easy to make. The main ingredients are probably already on your bar cart, or if not, they are easy to find at grocery stores. 

    It doesn't taste like alcohol. It's a delicious citrus yet peachy taste that is so refreshingly delicious. 

    It isn't straight liquor. While it is a lot of liquor, there is a splash of sour mix along with a splash of lemon-lime soda, so that takes the harshness of any straight liquor out.

    What is a white tea shot?

    A white tea shot is a mixed shot made of equal parts vodka, peach schnapps, sour mix, and lemon-lime soda. It's one of the more delicious shots to make or order, it has a bite with just a touch of sweetness. Plus, it's a great variation of the green tea shot if you prefer to stay away from whiskey. 

    Ingredients

    This is the best white tea shot recipe, and it's so simple. This is perfect if you want to whip up a shot mix for your next party. 

    Vodka. You'll want to use your favorite vodka, but make sure it's plain!

    Peach Schnapps. If you don't have peach schnapps in your bar cart, I highly recommend it! 

    Sour Mix. Sour mix can also be bought at the store, but it is so easy to make homemade! Plus, it tastes so much better.

    Lemon-Lime Soda. Just a little splash of lemon-lime pop to add a bit more of a sweet taste, plus a little bubbles.

    How to make a white tea shot

    1. In a cocktail shaker, combine equal parts vodka, peach schnapps, and sour mix.
    2. Add ice cubes and shake thoroughly. 
    3. Strain into shot glasses and cheers!

    How to make a homemade sour mix

    Make this big batch of sour mix to easily make this white tea shot, a green tea shot, margaritas and more at home!

    1. Mix together 1 cup of simple syrup, 1 cup of fresh lemon juice, and ¾ cups of fresh lime juice.
    2. Add it to an airtight container, like this glass jar, and store in the fridge. 

    Is there actually tea in a white tea shot?

    There is no actual tea in a white tea vodka shot, just like there is no actual green tea in the original green tea shot recipe. 

    White tea shot vs. green tea shot

    A white tea shooter is made of vodka, peach schnapps, sour mix, and lemon-lime soda. Whereas the classic green tea shot recipe is made with Jameson Irish Whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix. Both are very popular shots and so easy to make! The only difference between the two is the hard liquor used, so if you don't like whiskey, try ordering or making this easy white tea shot recipe.

    FAQ
