The Duke Of New York Bubble Tea Shot


  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 1 Shot 1x

Description

This bubble tea shot transforms traditional Taiwanese boba tea into a party drink. Make a whole batch and serve these shots at your next get-together. The popping mango boba is always a hit.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teapsoon mango popping boba
  • A dash of mango syrup
  • 2 tsp brewed jasmine tea
  • 2 tbsp tequila
  • 2 lime wedges
  • Table salt
  • A couple of drops of natural blue food coloring

Instructions

  1. Combine the salt and blue food coloring on a plate until the salt is evenly blue.
  2. Rub the lime wedge into the rim of the shot glass.
  3. Dip the glass face down to salt the rim.
  4. Pour the mango syrup first, followed by the popping boba, the jasmine tea, and finally, the tequila.
  5. Top with a lime wedge and serve.

Notes

Black tea, matcha, or green tea can be used as an alternative tea base, but the flavor will be slightly altered. We recommend first-time drinkers try out the above recipe first.

You may add taro, tapioca balls, and other toppings instead of popping boba, but in my opinion, such toppings make a much better fit for a milk tea cocktail than an NYC shot.
