Green Tea Shot Mocktail FAQs

What does a Green Tea Shot taste like?

A Green Tea Shot has a delicious mix of earthy, sweet, and citrusy flavors. The green tea provides a smooth base, while peach juice adds natural sweetness, and the sweet and sour mix brings a tangy kick.

Is a Green Tea Shot actually made with green tea?

Traditionally, a Green Tea Shot doesn’t contain green tea—it’s made with whiskey, peach schnapps, and sour mix. However, this non-alcoholic Green Tea Shot is made with real brewed green tea, making it a healthier and refreshing alternative.

Can I make this drink ahead of time?

Yes! You can pre-mix the green tea, peach juice, and sweet and sour mix and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just shake with ice and add soda before serving.

What’s a good alternative to lemon-lime soda?

If you prefer a less sweet version, swap the soda with sparkling water for a crisp and refreshing twist.

How can I make this drink even healthier?

Use freshly brewed green tea and a homemade sweet and sour mix with natural ingredients to keep it healthier!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Green Tea Shot Mocktail

1. Use high-quality green tea: Opt for freshly brewed green tea for the best flavor. If using tea bags, steep them for just the right amount of time to avoid bitterness.
2. Chill all ingredients beforehand: Keeping your tea, peach juice, and sweet and sour mix cold will enhance the refreshment factor and reduce dilution from ice.
3. Shake vigorously: The shaking process blends the flavors well and creates a smooth, well-balanced mocktail.
4. Experiment with sweeteners: If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a touch of honey or agave syrup to balance the tartness.
5. Enhance with fresh fruit: Garnish your shot with a lime wedge, peach slice, or even fresh mint for an extra layer of flavor.

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Pre-mix and refrigerate: You can prepare the green tea, peach juice, and sweet and sour mix in advance. Store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Shake before serving: If stored, give the mixture a quick shake before pouring to redistribute the flavors.
• Carbonation tips: Only add lemon-lime soda or sparkling water right before serving to maintain the fizz.
