Using matcha green tea powder in drinks is fantastic. It gives the cocktail a pleasant earthy flavour and a mesmerizing green colour.
This was also a very satisfying way to try out our bottle of Ichiros whisky that we bought in Japan a few months ago. It got to shine in this whisky highball for sure and stood up proudly to all that competing tea flavour.
Kanpai!
