Matcha Martini Cocktail (Printable)

A vibrant fusion of earthy matcha and smooth vodka, creating a creamy, lightly sweetened martini with a unique Japanese-inspired twist.

# Ingredient List:

→ Spirits

01 - 1.5 fl oz vodka

→ Dairy

02 - 1 fl oz heavy cream (or dairy-free alternative)

→ Flavorings

03 - 1 tsp matcha powder
04 - 0.5 fl oz simple syrup (adjust to taste)

→ Ice & Garnish

05 - Ice cubes
06 - Matcha powder or white chocolate shavings (optional garnish)

# Steps:

01 - Sift matcha powder into a cocktail shaker to remove any lumps.
02 - Add vodka, heavy cream, simple syrup, and a generous handful of ice to the shaker.
03 - Shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds until the contents are well chilled and frothy.
04 - Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass.
05 - Optionally garnish with a dusting of matcha powder or white chocolate shavings and serve immediately.

# Tips from the Pros:

01 -
  • The frothy texture feels like drinking a cloud with a sophisticated kick
  • Matcha provides gentle caffeine without the jitters of an energy drink
  • It is naturally gluten free and easily adaptable for dairy free guests
02 -
  • Skiping the sifting step leaves you with chalky lumps that never dissolve
  • The cream settles if you let it sit, so serve immediately after shaking
  • Shake longer than you think, because matcha needs serious agitation to emulsify
03 -
  • Make the simple syrup yourself and infuse it with vanilla for extra depth
  • Pre sift a larger batch of matcha and store it for quicker cocktail assembly
