Pro Tip

Replace store-bought sour mix with equal parts fresh lemon juice and simple syrup made with honey instead of white sugar. It tastes better, looks cleaner, and cuts the artificial ingredients.

Health Benefits

As a cocktail, the white tea shot is best enjoyed in moderation. The base ingredients offer some minor benefits.

Peach Schnapps

Peach flavoring provides a small amount of fruit-derived compounds
Lower alcohol content than straight spirits makes for a lighter drink

Lemon / Sour Mix

Fresh lemon juice provides vitamin C and supports immune health
Citric acid aids digestion and adds natural tang
Using fresh ingredients instead of pre-made mixes significantly reduces added sugar
