# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The way earthy matcha dances with bright vodka creates something entirely unexpected yet completely harmonious
  • Its the kind of cocktail that makes guests pause and ask what they are drinking before reaching for another sip
02 -
  • Sifting the matcha is nonnegotiable, those tiny clumps will float in your drink like bitter little surprises
  • The shaker needs to be seriously cold before you start, warmth kills the frothy texture that makes this special
03 -
  • Ceremonial grade matcha is worth the investment here, culinary grade can taste bitter and dull
  • The longer you shake, the better the texture, do not rush this step
