This mighty Matcha Mule and its three ingredients may not seem like much at first glance, but the way they interact makes all the difference. Spicy ginger beer meets the unique umami profile of matcha powder on the neutral base of vodka. A quick stir in a glass with ice is all you need to whip up a refined cocktail in just a minute. We recommend exploring your local ginger beer options for a true ginger taste without all the extra processing.
What Else Can You Add to a Matcha Mule?
There are many ways to doctor up this Moscow Mule recipe and make this one that’s all your own. You can start by adding in small servings of other liquor that you enjoy like a grapefruit liqueur. You can also get creative with garnishes such as sprigs of rosemary, fresh mint leaves, or candied ginger. Another option is to bring out your simple syrups for one last extra fusion of flavor. Try a little bit of honey, vanilla, or lavender syrup that combines sweetness with the matcha powder’s bitterness without overpowering its distinct earthy taste.
