Green Tea Shot Recipe
It is funny that there is no green tea in this shot. It was named because of the green color from the combination of ingredients being mixed together.
This whiskey cocktail is made with basic bar ingredients that taste amazing when combined. It is super light and refreshing.
You may also hear this cocktail called a Jameson Green Tea Shot. I will say it does not taste like actual green tea the flavor is closer to a mellow Kamikaze shot.

Recipe Tips
Make sure to measure your shot glasses so you know how much liquid they hold. This shot is a little over 1.5 ounces so you will want to use a 2-ounce shot glass.
You can easily double, triple or more this recipe if you are making them for a party.
Feel free to change this recipe up and switch the Jameson Irish Whiskey for an American Whiskey or Japanese Whiskey.
While this cocktail is set up to be a shot you can easily adapt it to be a martini or larger cocktail. Simply double the ingredients and follow the same instructions.
If you are not a fan of carbonation or Sprite you can change this out for lemonade.
