Description
The White Tea Shot is a light, refreshing, and fruity party drink that’s perfect for kicking off celebrations! Despite the name, it doesn’t contain tea—this sweet and tangy cocktail gets its name from the pale color of the mix. Made with vodka, peach schnapps, lemon-lime soda, and a splash of sour mix, this simple shot is a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
