Green Tea Shot Recipe: How to Make It (And Why Kamoti Bottled It)
Share
You already know the green tea shot. But have you tried the white tea version? Kamoti makes both—bottled, ready to pour, and built to skip the bar line entirely.
The Classic Green Tea Shot Recipe
The green tea shot is a whiskey-based shooter. Four ingredients, fast to make, and dangerously easy to drink. Here's what goes in it:
- 1 oz Irish whiskey
- 0.5 oz peach schnapps
- 0.5 oz sour mix
- A splash of lemon-lime soda
Shake whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix over ice. Strain into a shot glass. Add a splash of lemon-lime soda. Done.
The result is smooth, lightly sweet, with a citrus kick and a whiskey backbone. No actual tea. The name comes from the color—not the ingredients.
Why the Green Tea Shot Works
Irish whiskey is the key. It's lighter and smoother than bourbon or scotch, which means it doesn't fight the peach and citrus—it complements them. The result is a shot that goes down easy without tasting weak.
The peach schnapps adds sweetness. The sour mix adds tartness. The soda adds lift. Everything is balanced, which is why this shot has been a bar staple for years and isn't going anywhere.
The Problem with the Bar Version
Every bartender makes it differently. Some go heavy on the sour mix—that artificial, sugar-loaded stuff that leaves a headache waiting for you the next morning. Some under-pour the schnapps. Some just eye it and hope for the best.
Making it at home isn't much easier. Four separate bottles, a shaker, measuring, and hoping the ratio lands right on the first try. It usually doesn't.
That's why we built Kamoti.
Kamoti Bottled the Green Tea Shot
Kamoti's green tea shot bottle is the classic, done right. Whiskey-based. Peach and citrus flavors. No artificial ingredients. No high fructose corn syrup. No sour mix with mystery chemicals in it.
Just pour and go. No shaker. No measuring. No second-guessing.
Bottled at 20% ABV—half the intensity of a straight spirit shot—so you get the full green tea shot experience without blowing up the night. Two Kamoti shots equal one regular shot. The math works in your favor.
Skip the DIY. Get the Bottle.
The green tea shot recipe is simple enough to make once. But when you're hosting, pregaming, or just want something smooth without the setup, the bottled version is the obvious move.
Grab a bottle of Kamoti Green Tea Shot and skip the four-ingredient build entirely.
Also available: Kamoti White Tea Shot—the vodka-based version for a lighter, more tropical vibe. Try the White Tea Shot Bottle if you want something a little different.
