What’s in a Green Tea Shot?

·         2 ounces of Jameson Irish Whiskey

·         1/2 ounce of fresh lemon juice

·         7 UP Soda

·         1 tablespoon of honey

·         Ice cubes

The honey will add a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors. 7 UP will add a little bit of fizziness and tone down the powerful flavors.

Step 4: Serve and garnish

Once the mixture is nicely mixed, strain it into the prepared cocktail glass filled with ice cubes. You can use a cocktail strainer to remove the lemon pulp. Give it a gentle stir to ensure the flavors are evenly mixed. Garnish the glass with a slice of lemon on the rim to make it extra fancy.
