Instructions

Description: The Emerald Zen Garden is a cocktail that encapsulates the tranquility and elegance of a Japanese garden, with the earthy depth of matcha green tea and a refreshing twist. The drink is a harmonious blend of traditional Japanese flavors and Western mixology, featuring the umami-rich matcha, complemented by the sweetness of honey syrup, the tartness of fresh lemon, and the botanical notes of gin. A hint of egg white adds a silky texture, while a sprig of mint and a dusting of matcha powder on top serve as a nod to the green landscapes of Zen gardens. Ingredients: - 2 oz Gin (preferably a botanical variety) - 3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice - 1/2 oz Honey syrup (equal parts honey and warm water, stirred until combined) - 1 tsp Matcha green tea powder, plus a pinch for garnish - 1 Egg white (optional, can be omitted for a vegan alternative) - Ice cubes - Fresh mint sprig, for garnish Glass: Chilled coupe glass Instructions: 1. In a mixing glass, add the matcha powder and a small amount of hot water. Whisk until the matcha is fully dissolved to create a paste. 2. Add gin, fresh lemon juice, honey syrup, and the optional egg white to the matcha paste. 3. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a frothy texture. 4. Add ice cubes to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled. 5. Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass to ensure a smooth texture without ice chips or matcha clumps. 6. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a delicate dusting of matcha powder over the foam for an extra touch of Zen-inspired elegance. The Emerald Zen Garden is a drink that invites you to sit back, relax, and savor a moment of peaceful indulgence.
