# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The combination of smooth vodka with earthy matcha creates this incredible balance that dances between sweet and savory in a way regular martinis just cant touch.
  • Its embarrassingly easy to make but looks like something that would cost you $18 at a fancy cocktail bar.
02 -
  • Double-straining through a fine mesh sieve makes an enormous difference, removing tiny ice chips and matcha granules that would otherwise make the texture grainy.
  • Chilling your martini glass beforehand keeps the cocktail at the perfect temperature longer and prevents that disappointing warmth that can happen with the final sips.
03 -
  • Matcha tends to clump when added directly to liquid, so always sift it first or blend it with a tiny bit of vodka to create a smooth paste before adding remaining ingredients.
  • The cocktail tastes even better when all ingredients are cold before mixing, so consider storing your cream and vodka in the refrigerator before preparing.
