Notes

 

This alternative version of the Green Tea Shot uses Midori melon liqueur instead of peach schnapps, giving the drink a slightly sweeter, fruity flavor with a hint of melon. The addition of soda water provides a lighter, effervescent finish that balances the sweetness, making it a refreshing option for those who enjoy a unique twist on the classic recipe.
