Bartender serves 6 green tea shots to a group of 50-year-old men. One man drinks his and reaches back for the money he put down: ‘took his $5 back’

A bartender named Abbey recently shared a frustrating interaction on TikTok where a group of 50-year-old men ordered a round of green tea shots only to cause a scene, as reported by BroBible. The video has gained 21,200 views and shows Abbey describing the moment she served six green tea shots to the group after they asked for the most popular option. She mentioned that she tried to warn them that she would not recommend those shots for their age group, but they insisted on getting them anyway.

The trouble started before the men even drank the shots. One of the men placed 5 dollars on the bar as a tip, but Abbey stated she felt uncomfortable taking money while customers were watching her. She decided to hover by the table instead of picking up the cash. After finishing his shot, the man complained that the drink was just a sour mix without any alcohol. Abbey explained that the drink is meant to be sweet. She told the camera, “It’s supposed to go down easy, OK?”

The man then demanded six more shots. When Abbey informed him that the additional round would cost 60 dollars, the man claimed he would not pay for them. Abbey said, “And then he, like, took his $5 back that he left on the bar.” She ended the video by yelling into the camera after making a faux shocked face. In the description for the post, she noted, “I literally had to go pace in the liquor room after this experience.”

Commenters on the platform had plenty to say about the encounter

One person noted, “I would’ve said something evil unfortunately.” Another commenter shared, “Better than a bunch of 50-year-old men ordering fireball shots.” A different user seemed confused by the man’s behavior, writing, “Oh so the 5 is supposed to cover it WTF.”

Some viewers questioned the strength of the ingredients, with one person writing, “Jameson is weak too so probably why it seemed like it didn’t have anything.” Another viewer asked, “$60? How much is a shot of Jameson?”

It is interesting to note that despite the name, green tea shots do not actually contain any green tea. They get their name from their green color. The drink is made with peach schnapps, Irish whiskey, and sour mix, often with a splash of citrus soda. According to the recipe site The Spruce Eats, the drink is known for being balanced and mellow. It tastes like a sweet-sour whiskey drink with a peachy twist and a bit of carbonation from the lemon-lime soda.

The strength of the shot often depends on the alcohol content of the peach schnapps used. The Spruce Eats notes that the shooter can mix up to 16% ABV when made with 80-proof whiskey. The final strength depends on the specific alcohol used, as stronger whiskey or peach schnapps makes for a more potent drink.
