Tropical Matcha Cocktail
This tropical vodka-based cocktail packs a flavorful punch, thanks to the star ingredient, matcha powder. Matcha, which is made from ground green tea leaves, tastes slightly grassy and bitter (in the very best way!) but when paired with pineapple and lime juice, it makes for a refreshing fruity drink. I suggest using ceremonial grade matcha for the best color and flavor pay off.
