Notes
Tips and Variations
- Tip: Use chilled ingredients for an extra-refreshing shot without extra ice dilution.
- Variation: Swap whiskey for vodka to make a “white tea shot” with a lighter flavor.
- Non-Alcoholic Option: Replace whiskey and schnapps with 0.5 oz peach juice and a drop of green food coloring.
- Batch It: Multiply ingredients by your guest count (e.g., 5 oz each for 10 shots) and mix in a pitcher, adding soda just before serving.
