What Is A White Tea Shot Made Of?
It's an alcoholic drink that's common among women because it's sweet, fruity, and lower in calories than a green tea shot.
Made with peach schnapps, vodka, sour mix, and a splash of Sprite, this shot is commonly served at parties and bars.
What's the difference between a white tea shot and a green tea shot?
The only difference between a white tea and a green tea shot is that a white tea shot uses VODKA whereas a green tea shot uses WHISKEY, Jameson is the go-to. The whiskey is what gives the green tea shot it's beautiful green hue.
Is there actual tea in this shot?
No, there's no actual tea in this white tea shot! This shot is actually a spinoff of the original "Green Tea Shot", and only contains the word "tea" because of its green tea counterpart.
While the classic recipe does not contain any tea whatsoever, there are some varieties that people make that do include tea.
Ingredient Notes
*find the full ingredients list and measurements in the recipe card below*
- Peach schnapps: The peach schnapps adds a little bit of sweetness and peach flavor to the shot. My favorite brand is Smirnoff.
- Vodka: For vodka, just use your favorite one! Since this drink is a shot, there's no need to purchase overly expensive vodka.
- Sour mix: You can use either homemade sour mix or store bought, they both work well.
- Sprite: This is optional, but I like the extra sweetness is adds as well as the bubbles!
Kitchen Tools Needed
How To Make A White Tea Shot
- To a chilled shot glass, add a splash of Sprite (if using)
- Add the rest of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well for 10-15 seconds
- Pour into your shot glass, garnish with a peach slice, and enjoy!
Recipe Variations
- Scale the recipe up if serving to a crowd! Just make a large batch and keep pre-mixed in a pitcher. Then when you're ready to serve, add a few ounces to a jigger and shake with ice! Serve cold.
- You can also turn this shot into a drink by doubling the ingredients, pouring into a chilled glass with ice, and filling the rest of the glass with soda.
- Make the shot with homemade sour mix, instead of store-bought.
- Swap the vodka with tequila, whiskey or gin if you prefer.
Aleka's Tips
- Chill your shot glass first, in order to achieve the best flavor. You want this shot SUPER COLD!
- Sprite is optional, but adds a fun bubbliness to the white tea shot
- Shake well, I highly recommend using a cocktail shaker
- You can scale the recipe up as needed to serve a crowd!
- Garnish with a slice of fresh cut peaches and mint leaves. It's a fancy way to serve the shot. (Presentation goes a longg way!)
- Serve this in a small rocks glass if you prefer.
- Do NOT add the soda to your shaker or the pressure will build and explode everywhere!
Sour Mix
If you cannot find it or don't feel like buying it, you can make your own sweet & sour mix at home! It's easier than you'd think and is much better homemade.
Frequently Asked Questions
Actual white tea is a variety of tea that's made from the young leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant.
I wouldn't say there's a strong taste of alcohol. Yes, you may feel some of the burn from the vodka, but because of the peach and lemon lime flavor it's pretty masked.
The vodka is 40-50% alcohol and the peach schnapps is 15% alcohol. There may also be a little alcohol in your sour mix, depending on what brand you use.
There is no caffeine in the shot recipe listed in the recipe card below. Some other recipes may call for you to make it with actual tea, and it that's the case, there may be some caffeine in it.
