Recipe: Matcha Shots - A Fun and Energizing Drink!

Looking for a fun, energizing drink with a twist? Meet Matcha Shots — a drink that brings together the power of matcha and a splash of gin. [You can also savor the shot without the gin just as easily.]

Ingredients: 

• 40 grams of NOT GREEN Matcha
• Ice cubes
• 50ml London Dry Gin (optional)
• 10ml Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Honey
• Lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions: 

Step 1: Prep your Matcha

Start by whisking your NOT GREEN Matcha with a little hot water. Keep whisking until it’s all smooth and vibrant.

Step 2: Shake it up

In a cocktail shaker, add ice, followed by the pre-prepared matcha, 50 ml of gin (if you’re using it), 10 ml of fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Shake vigorously until well-mixed and chilled.

Step 3: Serve and enjoy

Once shaken, pour the mixture into shot glasses. The matcha’s green color will give it a fresh, eye-catching look. Top with a lime wedge on the rim of each glass to add a zesty aroma and vibrant touch.

Why You’ll Love It

This Matcha Shot strikes the perfect blend of earthy matcha, sweet honey, and a zingy lemon kick. If you choose to add gin, it gives the drink a cool, refreshing twist. 

Tips for the Perfect Matcha Shots

Whisk it good: Make sure your matcha is properly whisked to avoid any lumps, ensuring a smooth, creamy texture.

Sweeten it up: If you like it sweeter, just add a little more honey or some simple syrup!

Experiment with garnishes: Lime wedges are classic, but lemon slices or fresh mint can add a playful flair!
