It was so delicious, tangy, and perfect to make if you want something different from your usual shot drinks.

You might think, from the name, that this Black Tea Shot contains black tea, When I first found the recipe, I thought a shot with black tea would be fun to make and add to my list of shot drinks. But when I saw the ingredients, I realized there was no tea in it at all, So I was excited to try it.

I saw some people say that the Black Tea Shot gets its name from its color and taste, and I agree! The drink has a dark amber color that resembles a mix of black tea and cola. That’s how it earned its name. So next time you see a drink with an interesting name, don’t judge it until you check the ingredients.

I used Jameson Irish Whiskey, peach schnapps, sour mix, and a splash of cola to make this Black Tea Shot. The process was easy, just like any other shot drink I’ve made before. The flavor was sweet with a strong tangy taste, which is what I really enjoyed about it. Overall, the experience was fantastic, and I was really satisfied with the taste.

I really liked this Pistachio Shot. It turns out so creamy with a delicious taste of pistachio and other ingredients.

I made this Pistachio Shot even creamier by using more heavy cream, but this step is optional. The Pistachio Shot already has a good creamy texture on its own.

I also made it light by not adding alcohol, but you can add vodka if you want to give the shot a stronger taste.

The Pistachio Shot pairs perfectly with desserts. Believe me, you won’t want your cups to empty. I drank almost 4 cups and still couldn’t get enough of it.
