Matcharita
Matcha + Tequila = Matcharita
The Matcharita is our go-to spring hosting cocktail: blanco tequila, St. Germain, fresh lime, and matcha shaken cold and served in a matcha sugar-rimmed glass. Even if you're not a matcha person, you’ll be a matcharita person.
Ingredients:
2 oz blanco tequila
1 oz St. Germain
1 oz lime juice (about half a lime)
.5 oz agave
1 teaspoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
1-2 oz Topo Chico
FOR GARNISH:
1 tablespoon ceremonial grade matcha powder
1 tablespoons sugar
Lime wedge or round
Edible flowers
equipment:
Matcha whisk or handheld frother
Stirring glass
Ice strainer
Margarita glass
Step 1
Combine 1 tablespoon ceremonial grade matcha powder and 1 tablespoon sugar in a flat bowl or small plate and mix together. Run a lime wedge around the edge of a margarita glass, then dip the rim into the matcha sugar mixture to coat. Set aside.
Step 2
Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz St. Germain, 1 oz lime juice (about half a lime), 1 oz agave, and 1 teaspoon of ceremonial grade matcha powder to a cup. Use a handheld frother to fully dissolve the matcha into the liquid until there are no clumps. Add the cocktail to a shaker with ice and shake for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add fresh ice to your cocktail glass. Strain the cocktail over the ice. Top with Topo Chico or your favorite sparkling water. Garnish with a lime and edible flower!
