A Tequila Green Shot is a drink that combines two popular alcoholic beverages: tequila and green juice from apple or even cucumber.
The combination of tequila and green juice is not only tasty, but also healthy. The alcohol in the tequila will give you a buzz, while the antioxidants in the green juice will help keep your immune system strong.
Tequila green shots are great for parties, because they’re quick to make and easy to drink. They’re also good for anyone who isn’t sure about tequila or doesn’t like its taste; this cocktail takes away some of the harshness of straight-up tequila, making it more palatable for those who are new to this type of spirit.
