# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It takes just five minutes to make but looks like you spent an hour perfecting it.
  • The earthy matcha balances beautifully with the vodka, creating a cocktail that feels both indulgent and refreshing.
  • You can easily adjust the sweetness and creaminess to suit your exact taste.
  • Its naturally gluten-free and simple to make dairy-free without losing any richness.
02 -
  • Always sift your matcha powder first or you will end up with bitter clumps floating in an otherwise perfect cocktail.
  • Shaking for the full 20 seconds is essential because it not only chills the drink but also creates that creamy, frothy texture that makes this martini special.
  • Chill your martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before serving so the cocktail stays cold longer.
03 -
  • Use a small fine-mesh sieve to double-strain the cocktail for an ultra-smooth finish that feels professionally made.
  • Wet the rim of the glass and dip it in a mix of matcha powder and sugar for a sweet, decorative edge that adds extra flavor with every sip.
  • If you want a stronger matcha flavor, increase the powder to one and a half teaspoons, but be careful not to go overboard or it can taste too grassy.
