Recipe: Matcha Martini - A Bold Twist on a Classic Cocktail

Combining the earthy, vibrant flavor of matcha with the sophistication of a classic martini, this drink is amazing for cocktail enthusiasts and matcha lovers. This matcha martini will bring a touch of elegance to your party! 

A Little Cocktail History

Did you know the martini is one of the most iconic cocktails in the world? Its origins are debated, but it has been a staple in bars since the late 19th century, representing refinement and class. With this Matcha Martini, we’re putting a modern, playful twist on this timeless drink by introducing the bold, energizing character of matcha.

Ingredients: 

• A cold Martini glass
• 40 grams of NOT GREEN matcha
• Ice cubes
• 100 ml of Martini Bianco
• 50 ml London Dry Gin
• Garnish of your choice (we recommend fresh mint leaves and raspberries for a pop of color)

Instructions: 

Step 1: Prep your Matcha

Use 40 grams (or 2 Matcha tea spoons) of NOT GREEN matcha and whisk it with a small amount of hot water. This will ensure that the vibrant matcha flavor shines through in the cocktail.

Step 2: Shake things up 

Grab a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Add the pre-prepared matcha, 100 ml of Martini Bianco, and 50 ml of London Dry Gin. Seal it up and shake it like you mean it! The goal is to mix, chill, and slightly froth the cocktail for a smooth texture.

Step 3: Serve in style

Remove the shaker’s lid and carefully pour the mixture into a martini glass. The rich green color is sure to turn heads! 

Step 4: Garnish and enjoy

Now, it’s time to get creative! We love topping ours with fresh mint leaves and juicy raspberries, but feel free to spice it up with whatever you fancy – edible flowers, lime zest, or even a slice of candied ginger can add a special touch.

Tips for the Perfect Matcha Martini

Quality Matters: Use our high quality Organic Premium Matcha or Matcha Latte (if you are busy). 

Chill Your glass: For an extra refresher, pop your martini glass in the freezer before serving. Trust us, it’s worth it!

Get Creative with Garnish:  A beautiful garnish can elevate the drink's presentation and flavor — think fresh herbs, berries, or even a dusting of matcha powder on the rim.

Cheers to trying something new and making it unforgettable! 🍸
