Cucumbery Matchay Minty Mocktail
This little mocktail came to me as I was lying out by the pool one hot summer day. I love a fun bev, but I don’t love drinking alcohol, so this cucumbery matchay minty little bev was the perfect thirst quencher on that hot summer day.
Ingredients
1 tbsp agave
3 tbsp hot water
1.5 tsp of matcha of good cocktail-grade matcha powder
½ a persian cucumber roughly chopped
A few mint leaves
Juice and zest of ½ a lime
Lots of ice
Tajin to garnish the glass
Extra lime to garnish
Method
Make your matcha by thoroughly whisking the matcha powder with the hot water until foaming. Set aside or in the fridge to cool completely before using
Muddle the cucumber in a shaker bottle until smashed and juicy
Add the agave, matcha, mint, and juice of ½ a lime with ice in a shaker bottle and shake until your hands freeze off
Double strain and pour over fresh ice.
Garnish with a lime and tajin-rimmed glass
Enjoy :)
