    The Story Behind Green Tea Shots

    In the world of cocktails, the 'Green Tea Shot' might not boast of a history as rich as the Old Fashioned or as glamorous as the Martini, but it certainly has its charm.

Interestingly, there's more to the Green Tea Shot than meets the eye, starting with the fact that it contains no actual green tea. This can lead to some confusion for the uninitiated, but once you take a sip, you'll soon appreciate the allure of this delightful concoction.
