Matcha Mojito Mocktail recipe preparation
- Begin by whisking together the hot water and matcha powder in a small bowl. Ensure the matcha dissolves entirely into the water, creating a smooth mixture. Let this matcha blend cool down.
- In a cocktail shaker, add brown sugar and mint leaves. Use a muddler to crush and mix the mint leaves with the sugar thoroughly. This process will help release the mint's essential oils, infusing the sugar with its flavor.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime into the shaker, then drop the juiced lime halves into it as well for extra zest.
- Pour the cooled matcha and water mixture into the shaker, then fill the shaker with ice to chill the drink as it mixes.
- Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and give it a vigorous shake for about 20 seconds, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and chilled.
- Place crushed ice into two large glasses. Strain the shaken matcha concoction evenly between the two glasses, leaving room at the top.
- Finish each glass by topping it with club soda. This adds a refreshing fizz to your drink.
- Garnish the drinks with lime wedges and additional fresh mint leaves to enhance their visual appeal and flavor. Serve immediately while cold for the best experience.
Suggestion:
-
If club soda isn’t to your liking or not available, you can easily substitute it with a bit more water for a milder version or use lime seltzer for an added citrus kick without altering the refreshing quality of the drink.
