Alcohol-Free First Lady

Matcha in a mocktail? Yes. It’s a thing! This is my non-alcoholic take on this Matcha Cocktail by Grant Wheeler. I used Matcha Kari‘s First Harvest matcha in this mocktail. The earthiness of the matcha plus a little bit of sweetness from the simple syrup and tartness from the lemon juice go so well together. The gin alternative from Ritual Zero Proof and Sobreo‘s Valencia Orange add extra complexity by giving it a bite at the back and a subtle bitterness as well. The egg white adds a nice texture too! Leave a heart if you’re a matcha lover and if you want to see more matcha mocktail recipes!
