Well now, if ya ever wondered about them fancy drinks folks been talkin’ about, the Orange Tea Shot sure is one of ’em. It’s a right good mix of flavors that’ll have your taste buds doin’ a little jig. So, let me tell ya how to put this thing together. It’s real simple, don’t worry ‘bout all them big words they use in the fancy bars. I’ll make it so you can follow along without breakin’ a sweat.
First off, ya gonna need a few ingredients. Ain’t much to it, really. You’ll need some orange juice, a bit of orange-flavored Irish whiskey—Jameson Orange works good for this—and some black tea. Then, a little bit of sugar and cinnamon to give it some sweetness and spice, and if ya like, a bit of star anise to really kick up the flavor. Don’t worry, it’s all easy to find at the store. Just head on over and grab these things and we’ll get started.
Now, for the first step, you gotta make that tea base. I know some folks get confused ‘bout this part, but it ain’t nothin’ fancy. Just brew some black tea like you would for your regular ol’ cup in the morning. While it’s brewin’, you can go ahead and make the orange syrup. Get ya a little pot, throw in a bit of orange juice, add some sugar, and heat it up till it’s nice and thick. Stir it good, so the sugar don’t sit at the bottom. You want it all melted in there, giving that syrupy sweetness.
Once the tea’s done steeping, pour it into a glass or jar, whichever you got handy. Then, mix in that orange syrup you just made. Don’t be shy, pour it in there real good. The more syrup, the sweeter it’ll be, but if ya don’t like too much sweetness, just use a little. Now, you got yourself a good tea base ready for the next step.
Next, we’ll make the shot part. For that, ya need to grab the Jameson Orange whiskey and a splash of that black tea mix you just made. Fill up a little shot glass half full with the whiskey, then top it off with the tea base. Now, you don’t need to overthink this. You want a good balance of the tea and the whiskey, so it don’t taste too strong or too weak. Give it a quick stir if ya like, but it ain’t gotta be all fancy, just mix it up real nice.
If you wanna make it real special, go ahead and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or add a star anise to the top. It’ll give it a nice look and make it taste even better. But that’s all up to ya—some folks like it spicy, others just wanna sip it without all the extra stuff. It’s all about what you like best.
And there ya go! Now you’ve got yourself an Orange Tea Shot ready to go. It’s got that nice orangey whiskey kick with a sweet tea finish. You can serve it in a shot glass or a little cup, depends on how fancy you wanna be. Just remember, this drink is meant for sippin’ and enjoyin’—not rushin’ through it. So go ahead and take your time, enjoy the flavors, and share it with folks if ya like.
If you ever get the itch to try somethin’ different, you can play around with this recipe a bit. Some folks might add a little bit of sour mix to give it a tangy twist, or even throw in a splash of citrus soda for some fizz. It’s all up to ya, really. The Orange Tea Shot’s as easy or as fancy as you want it to be, and that’s the best part. Can’t go wrong with it, no matter how ya make it!
