Matcha Gin Sour
Introduction:
I’ve really been into sours lately, and this was the originally reason I purchased matcha. The cooler happened to be a fantastic accident, but this is a drink for those who enjoy a little bit more sour, and a lot more booze. I quoted Erin at time of initial concoction “best drink you’ve ever made.” Hope you like it too!
Ingredients:
- 2 oz. gin (used Leopold’s)
- ¾ oz. lemon
- ½ oz. simple syrup
- ¼ tsp. matcha powder
- egg white
Garnish
- sprinkle of matcha
Preparation:
Shake everything over ice for 8-10 seconds. Remove ice, shake vigorously for another 20 seconds. Pour directly into coup. Sprinkle a tiny bit of matcha for looks and aroma.
Notes:
Better the matcha powder the better the drink. Two different types: culinary and ceremonial. Ceremonial not only tastes better, but yields a lighter green look to it as well.
