A white tea shot is exactly what you need. So let us tell you all about how to make a white tea shot so you can enjoy this amazing little drink, too.

How Much is a Shot?

Before we get started, we wanted to tell you a little bit about shots. A shot doesn’t have to me a drink made with alcohol. A shot is just a small amount of something. A quick little drink that is powerful and strong.

Exactly how much oz is in a shot? A shot is typically between 1.25 and 1.5 ounces. While a standard shot glass can hold about 1.5 ounces, most shot glasses are filled slightly below the rim.

If you're wondering how many mL in a shot glass, the answer is 30 mL to 45 mL. So how many ounces in 30 mL? 1.25 ounces! The size of a standard shot. This amount is perfect for quickly drinking in one big gulp. So if anyone asks you how much is a shot, now you can give a very confident answer.

Of course, there are bigger, two sip shots as well. We like to stick to the 30mL to 45mL shots that are quick, potent and easy to drink. Feel free to make a bigger shot if you’d like!

How many ounces in 50 mL shot? 1.75 ounces!

How many ounces in 60 mL shot? 2 ounces!

Woah, those shots are getting pretty big…

Lemon Juice- Lemon juice adds a little zing and bright flavor to the shot. It helps it taste a little lighter and makes it easier to drink. Just like honey, lemon juice can relieve a sore throat. It can prevent kidney stones, helps blood sugar levels and even has cancer fighting benefits.
Ginger- Ginger is another powerhouse ingredient with an incredible amount of health benefits. It is even used quite often as a medicine. It can help with weight loss, lower blood sugar, treat nausea and even improve heart disease. Ginger has a nice spicy taste that is refreshing and tasty.

Green tea shots are everywhere right now. You can find them in health food stores, coffee shops and even in the refrigerated section of the grocery store. So what is the difference between white tea shots and green tea shots?

White tea shots are a little more mild and sweeter than green tea. Green tea has an earthy taste which some people don’t like. If green tea is too strong for you, then white tea may be exactly what you need!
