RACHEL GREEN
Skinny Matcha
Refreshing is the best way to describe this cocktail. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the perfect fusion of matcha and the citrusy notes in this light, skinny bitch cocktail.
Ingredients:
0.04l vodka
0.03l matcha
0.03l lemon juice
0.12l sparkling water
Recipe:
For this cocktail you don’t need a cocktail shaker. :)
First prepare the matcha - this is simply like you would make yourself a matcha, no sugar added. Adjust the quantities and use a bit less matcha. Half a teaspoon, or one bamboo scoop, or 0.5g is enough for one cocktail.
In a tall glass, add ice and pour in vodka, sparkling water and lemon juice.
Slowly pour in the prepared matcha. Try to get an ombre effect.
Garnish with lemon slices.
Cheers!
