INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tsp Matcha Nude - the star of the show!
- 2 tbsp water to dissolve your matcha
- 1-2 oz non-alcoholic gin or your fav boozy gin: We personally love Lyre’s but are seeing so many more on the market!
- 1/2 lemon or lime juice
- 1-2 tsp sweetener - we love it with maple syrup
- Fresh mint: Because every great drink deserves a fancy garnish.
- Ice cubes: Can't forget those! They're essential for keeping things cool and refreshing.
HOW TO:
- Start by dissolving your matcha into the water using an electric frother, matcha whisk or jar with a lid until it's smooth and frothy. Need help? We've got tips here. Whisking the matcha is key to banishing any pesky clumps and unlocking that full-on flavor experience.
- Grab your cocktail shaker and toss in the whisked matcha along with all the other ingredients (except the ice and mint). Give it a good shake until everything's nicely combined.
- Add in those ice cubes and shake things up again, really getting your groove on.
- Now, it's time to serve up the magic! Strain your matcha mixture into a chilled coupe glass or martini glass, and don't forget to jazz it up with a sprig of fresh mint if you're feeling fancy.
