In this blog, we share three delicious matcha cocktail recipes that will make your evening more spectacular!

1. Matcha Mojito

The classic mojito gets a boost with matcha, which gives the drink an extra layer of flavor and a subtle energy boost thanks to the natural caffeine.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon matcha powder
• 60 ml white rum
• 10-12 fresh mint leaves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup
• Sparkling water (soda)
• Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Start by preparing the matcha: dissolve the matcha powder in a little warm water and whisk well with a matcha whisk until it foams.
2. In a large glass, crush the mint leaves together with the lime juice and the honey or agave syrup. This ensures that the mint releases its full aroma.
3. Next, add the white rum and stir well. Pour the dissolved matcha into the glass and fill the rest of the glass with ice cubes.
   Top up with sparkling water and stir again. Garnish with an extra sprig of mint and a slice of lime for a refreshing twist!

Tip: You can replace the honey with a sugar-free sweetener to make the cocktail lighter.
