Matcha Margarita

Whether it’s Margarita Monday or a happy hour Friday, a matcha margarita is just the thing to help you unwind. We’re not saying that this cocktail can help you achieve nirvana, but it definitely won’t hurt. Understandably, you may be a little skeptical of matcha in a margarita. When was the last time you had green tea in a mixed drink? But, the rich, earthiness of matcha is actually the perfect pairing for the brightness of a lime. Round it out with a shot of tequila and a dash of triple sec, and we’d call that a pretty perfect cocktail. Just as delicious being sipped on the beach as it is enjoyed by a warm fireplace, this matcha margarita recipe is perfect for any situation where you need a minute to sit back, relax, and unwind. Throw in some tacos and a little guac, and you have the recipe for an impeccable evening.
