Review

Vodka-laced matcha and white chocolate with hints of vanilla and coconut, balanced and aromatised with vermouth. This recipe may look sweet, but with the right amount of matcha powder, it's balanced. (Use a chef's ¼ teaspoon/1.25ml measure to ensure the correct dose of matcha powder.)

Variations/similar cocktails

Eight ingredients are perhaps a bit much! If you are after something simpler, my Matchatini is similar and has just five ingredients.

Surprised no one has rated this. Great cocktail but something felt off to me, maybe a touch sweet and intense. I added a touch of milk and it was surprisingly good

Not keeping any vodka on my bar I used Havana Club 3 in its place but still thoroughly enjoyed this. The white cacao came through as the dominant flavour so next time I might try a little less and a little more matcha.
