# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks impossibly elegant in a glass, like something from a high-end cocktail menu, but takes literally five minutes to make.
  • The matcha gives you that calm focus feeling without the jitters, paired with something fun and celebratory.
  • It's naturally vegan-friendly if you swap the cream, and honestly tastes better that way sometimes.
02 -
  • Sifting the matcha is the difference between a silky cocktail and one that tastes gritty—I learned this the hard way by skipping it once.
  • If your matcha powder is old or has been sitting in sunlight, it'll taste slightly off and bitter, so freshen your supply if it's been hanging around for months.
  • Chill your martini glass beforehand by either filling it with ice while you shake, or just popping it in the freezer for two minutes.
03 -
  • Pre-chill your martini glass in the freezer for two minutes or fill it with ice while shaking—a warm glass will melt your carefully chilled cocktail.
  • If you don't have a cocktail shaker, a mason jar with a tight lid works perfectly, and honestly might even be more fun.
  • Make a batch of matcha-sweetened simple syrup ahead of time and store it in the fridge for quick cocktails later in the week.
