# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes less time to make than brewing coffee, but feels infinitely more special.
  • The earthy matcha cuts through the cream in a way that's neither too sweet nor too bitter.
  • It's stunning to look at, which makes serving it to guests feel effortless and impressive.
  • You can adjust the sweetness and creaminess without losing the core flavor.
02 -
  • If you don't sift the matcha, you'll end up with bitter green clumps floating in your drink.
  • Shaking for less than 15 seconds won't emulsify the cream properly, and the texture will be thin instead of luxurious.
  • Always chill your martini glass beforehand, a warm glass kills the entire vibe of this cocktail.
03 -
  • Double-strain through a fine mesh sieve if you want an ultra-smooth texture without any ice chips.
  • If your matcha tastes too bitter, it's likely old or low quality, invest in a fresh tin and store it in the fridge.
  • Shake until your shaker is almost too cold to hold, that's when you know the drink is perfectly chilled and emulsified.
