Tasting Notes

The White Chocolate Matcha Martini blends creamy, rich flavors with a subtle earthy finish. Vodka creates a smooth base, while white chocolate liqueur adds sweetness and a silky texture. Matcha powder brings a soft, grassy note that perfectly balances the richness of the heavy cream. A touch of simple syrup can be added for extra sweetness, depending on your preference. Finished with a dusting of matcha powder, this drink looks as beautiful as it tastes smooth, lightly sweet, and perfectly balanced between indulgent and refreshing.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker to properly mix and chill the ingredients. A fine mesh strainer helps ensure a smooth pour without any clumps of matcha. Use a bar spoon or small whisk to blend the matcha powder fully before shaking. For serving, a classic martini glass works best, giving the drink a sleek and polished appearance. A small sifter is also helpful for dusting matcha powder evenly on top. If you like a colder drink, consider chilling the glass beforehand to keep the martini cool longer.

Ingredients

2 oz vodka
1 oz white chocolate liqueur
1 oz heavy cream
0.5 oz simple syrup (optional, to adjust sweetness)
1 tsp matcha powder
Garnish: matcha powder (sprinkled on top)

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with a splash of hot water until smooth and fully dissolved.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the dissolved matcha, vodka, white chocolate liqueur, heavy cream, and simple syrup (if using). Shake vigorously until well chilled and frothy.
Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.
Lightly dust the top with matcha powder for a bold and beautiful finish.

Pro Tips

Whisk the matcha with warm water before adding it to the shaker to avoid clumps.
Use heavy cream for a richer, smoother texture; substitute with milk if you prefer it lighter.
If you like your cocktails on the sweeter side, add the simple syrup.
Shake vigorously to create a frothy, creamy finish and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.

When to Serve
