If you’ve been to a bar in the last 10 years, chances are you’ve had—or at least heard of—a Green Tea Shot. Its sweet, citrusy kick made it a go-to for nights out, birthdays, and spontaneous rounds with friends. But there’s a new favorite in town: the White Tea Shot.
At Candor Spirits, we’ve taken both of these iconic shots and turned them into ready-to-drink cocktails, crafted for flavor, convenience, and pure nostalgia. But what exactly makes them different, and which one is right for your vibe?
Let’s break it down.
Green Tea Shot: The Classic Crowd-Pleaser
Despite the name, there’s no actual green tea in a Green Tea Shot. The name comes from the shot’s light green color and smooth finish.
Traditional Ingredients:
- Whiskey (usually Jameson)
- Peach schnapps
- Sour mix
- Splash of lemon-lime soda
Flavor Profile:
Crisp, peachy, and sweet with just a bit of tang. The whiskey adds a warm kick without overpowering the taste.
When to Drink It:
- Starting the night off with friends
- Celebrating something (or nothing at all)
- Anytime you want a nostalgic, feel-good flavor
Candor’s Green Tea Cocktail captures all of this in a can—no shaker, no bartender, just chill and sip.
White Tea Shot: The Light & Bright Alternative
Think of the White Tea Shot as the Green Tea’s cooler cousin. It swaps out whiskey for vodka, making it lighter and more subtle—but just as fun.
Traditional Ingredients:
- Vodka
- Peach schnapps
- Sour mix
- Splash of lemon-lime soda
Flavor Profile:
Smoother and slightly sweeter than its green counterpart, with a cleaner finish. The vodka gives it a more neutral base, letting the citrus and peach really shine.
When to Drink It:
- Day drinking sessions
- Pool parties or warm-weather hangs
- When you want something refreshing without the boldness of whiskey
Candor’s White Tea Cocktail gives you the same clean, craveable taste in one easy-to-enjoy can.
So… Which One’s for You?
- Go Green if you love a little bite with your sweetness, or you’re feeling nostalgic for that shot you used to take with your college crew.
- Choose White if you’re in the mood for something smooth, light, and a little more laid-back.
Better yet? Grab both. Life’s too short to pick just one vibe.
One Last Thing…
Both of our ready-to-drink cocktails are made with quality ingredients and crafted to taste just like the real thing—without any of the prep. Just chill, pop the top, and enjoy.
