What Is A White Tea Shot?
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 Do They Taste Like?
This shot is both sweet and fruity, with very little "burn" from the vodka. It has notes of peach, lemon, and lime, which give the shot a light, fresh taste.
Does This Shot Have Actual Tea In It?
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.
What's The Difference Between A White And A Green Tea Shot?
A white tea shot and a green tea shot have almost an identical ingredients list. The only difference between the two is that a green tea shot is made with Jameson Whiskey instead of vodka.
Ingredient Notes

- 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!

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.
