MATCHA GINGER KOMBUCHA FIZZ

INGREDIENTS:

2 ounces vodka

2 teaspoons honey

1/4 teaspoon matcha powder

8 ounces ginger kombucha

1 lime cut into wedges

a handful of fresh mint for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add the vodka, honey and matcha powder to a cocktail shaker. Shake for at least 30 seconds – until the matcha is dissolved. I like to add ice then and shake for 20 seconds more.

Fill two chilled glasses with ice and pour the matcha vodka over. Squeeze in the juice from a lime wedge. Fill the rest of the cup with ginger kombucha and garnish with a few fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately!

RECIPE NOTES

To avoid your drink becoming too green, you can dab an extra wooden skewer into the green food coloring and then stir that into your drink to better control the amount of color.

Add the marshmallows to a food processor and blend until powdery. It’s okay if a few larger pieces remain. Add the milk to a large bowl and pour in the blended marshmallows. Stir to combine, then let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, add the ice cream, marshmallow milk, vodka and vanilla extract to a blender. You can add extra cereal if you’d like! Blend until combined and pour into glasses. Top with frosting (or whipped cream!) and some extra marshmallows.
