Ingredients
  

Main
  • 0.5 ounce Jameson Irish Whiskey
  • 0.5 ounce peach schnapps
  • 0.5 ounce fresh lemon juice
  • 0.5 ounce green tea brewed and cooled
  • Ice cubes as needed for chilling

Equipment

  • Shot glass (1.5 ounce capacity)
  • Jigger for measuring liquids
  • Bar spoon or long spoon for stirring
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Small bowl for ice

Method
 

  1. Steep one green tea bag in four ounces of hot water for 3 to 4 minutes, then remove the bag and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.
  2. Set out your jigger and measure each ingredient carefully into small glasses or shot glasses lined up in front of you.
  3. Add a generous handful of ice cubes to your shaker, enough to fill it about halfway.
  4. Pour your measured 0.5 ounce of Jameson into the shaker over the ice.
  5. Pour your 0.5 ounce of peach schnapps into the shaker with the whiskey and ice.
  6. Squeeze or pour your 0.5 ounce of fresh lemon juice into the shaker.
  7. Pour your 0.5 ounce of chilled brewed green tea into the shaker with all the other ingredients.
  8. Cover the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 10 to 12 seconds, until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and cold.
  9. Place your strainer over the shaker opening and pour the mixed drink smoothly into your waiting shot glass.
  10. Serve immediately while properly chilled.

Notes

Always use freshly brewed and completely cooled green tea rather than room temperature or warm tea. Use fresh lemon juice squeezed from real lemons rather than bottled juice. Measure everything carefully with a jigger for consistent results. This drink should be consumed immediately at peak freshness.
