Review

Matcha add to the flavour and balance of this riff on the classic Espresso Martini.

(Use a chef's ¼ teaspoon/1.25ml measure to ensure the correct dose of matcha powder.)

Simon your recipe list asks for 7.5 ml or 1.5 tbs 7.5 ml of matcha powder. Down below your annotation suggests 1/4 tsp or 1.25 ml of matcha powder which after following the instructions would be more appropriate. Also a dark carcaco is preferred as specified. I used a chocolate liqueur Borgata as a substitute which I would not recommend. I will restock and try again with dark Caraco and 1/4 tsp of matcha your published recipe should be corrected

Many thanks for bringing to my attention, Jon. I entered the matcha powder as 1/4 shot rather than 1/4 barspoon. I've now corrected.
