How to make your matcha margarita: step-by-step instructions
Ready to have your own bartender moment?
-
Whisk the matcha: Start by making your matcha shot. In a small bowl, mix your matcha powder with 2 oz of hot water, and whisk until it’s smooth and frothy. This is super important when making cocktails with matcha because we don’t want any clumps in our drink ❌.
-
Shake it like you mean it: Now for the fun part. Add blanco tequila, triple sec, lime juice, agave syrup, and your freshly made matcha shot into a cocktail shaker. Fill it with ice and shake it like you’re on holidays. Shake for 30 seconds (that's your arm workout for the day, girl 💪).
-
Serve the glow: Rim your glass with salt or tajín if you're feeling extra. Add ice to the glass, then pour in your freshly shaken matcha margarita. Garnish with a lime wedge, snap a pic, and sip away!
