“The White Tea Shot emerged as a natural evolution of the Green Tea Shot in the early 2000s. The Green Tea Shot was created as a marketing initiative by Jameson Irish Whiskey to make their whiskey more approachable to younger demographics, getting its name from the greenish hue created by whiskey and sour mix. The White Tea Shot followed shortly after, substituting vodka for Irish whiskey to create a lighter, "white" appearance and more neutral flavor profile that allowed the peach to be more prominent. It became popular in American college bars and nightclubs as part of the "gateway" drinks trend that made alcohol more palatable to wider audiences.”
