What's in a White Tea Shot? Ingredients, ABV, and the Bottled Version
Share
Everyone's ordered one. Not everyone knows what's actually in it.
Let's break down the white tea shot—what's in it, how strong it is, and why the bottled version from Kamoti is the cleaner choice.
White Tea Shot Ingredients
Spoiler: no tea. The name comes from the light, pale color of the finished shot—not from any brewed tea in the recipe.
- Vodka – The base spirit. Keeps things clean and neutral.
- Peach schnapps – Adds sweetness and that signature fruit flavor.
- Sour mix – Brings tartness and a citrus edge.
- Lemon-lime soda – A small splash for fizz and lift.
Most recipes run roughly 1 oz vodka to 0.5 oz peach schnapps to 0.5 oz sour mix, topped with a splash of soda. Bars adjust it constantly, which is why no two white tea shots taste exactly the same.
What's the ABV of a White Tea Shot?
A standard bar-made white tea shot typically lands between 12% and 18% ABV, depending on how heavy the pour is and how much soda gets added. Lighter than a straight vodka shot, but not a mocktail either.
Kamoti's Bottled White Tea Shot
Kamoti's white tea shot bottle uses a vodka base with real peach, coconut, and lime flavors. No sour mix. No artificial garbage. No HFCS. No gluten. ABV locked at 20%—consistent every single pour.
