When you hear "Green Tea Shot," you might imagine a vibrant beverage with a misleading moniker. Traditionally, this popular drink doesn't actually contain green tea at all – it's a clever mocktail imposter that happens to sport a verdant, emerald-green hue. But what if we could reimagine this classic shot as a refreshing, alcohol-free elixir that truly celebrates the nuanced world of non-alcoholic green shots?
