Ingredients
Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.
Irish whiskey- we used Jameson Irish whiskey for this recipe. The original whiskey company that created this shot. You can use any whiskey for this recipe though.
Peach schnapps- this liquor has a peach flavor to it and adds sweetness to this drink.
Sour mix- we made a homemade sour mix, but you can use a homemade sour mix as well. Sour mix is super easy to make, you will need lime juice, lemon juice, water, and sugar. You can use store-bought sour mix as well.
Sprite- you will need a splash of sprite or a sparkling lemonade for every shot. Feel free to switch out the sprite with any sparkling lemonade that you like.
Ice- we blend the drink with ice and serve it with the ice. This is an iced drink so use the ice that you have available.
Equipment
There are so many ways to make this drink. Here are our favorite tools to make this:
- In a blender- This blender is our favorite and we use it to make so many drinks, smoothies, and foods! All you will need to do is add all your ingredients into the blender and mix until the mixture is mixed! Mix in a bowl with ice to cool it out and pour in a shot glass!
- In a cocktail shaker- This is how we like to make this drink. Add all the ingredients to the cocktail shaker, and shake for 30 seconds so all the ingredients melt together and are well combined.
- In a mason jar- this method is great and easy. Simply add all the ingredients including the ice to a mason jar and shake it for 20 seconds. Pour it carefully into shot glasses and enjoy!
Instructions
Step 1: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Then add the whiskey, sour mix, and the peach schnapps and close the lid tightly.
Step 2: Mix the mixture for 20 seconds until it's well mixed and pour it into shot glasses ¾ way full.
Step 3: Add a splash of sprite or sparkling lemonade of your choice to the shots. Serve and enjoy!
Faq's
If you make this drink and would like to store it, I suggest straining the drink mixture to prevent the ice from melting and ruining the texture of the drink. Store this drink in an airtight container or in a jar for up to 4 days.
This drink is extra refreshing. It's sweet but not too sweet. Our favorite thing about this recipe is that you can use a homemade sour mix so that you can control the sweetness of the drink.
Yes! If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a mason jar or any jar with a lid that seals tightly and add the ingredients, close the lid, and shake!
Jameson whiskey created this drink and called it green tea shots because it looks like green tea. This drink does not have any green tea in it.
