How to Make a Matcha Martini with a Cocktail Gift Set

Quick Answer

Use the Matcha Martini Cocktail Gift Set to mix Dady'O Mezcal and Yoshi Matcha Liqueur for a smoky, vegetal cocktail. Follow the steps below to avoid common mistakes like over-dilution or unbalanced sweetness.

Steps to Make a Matcha Martini

1. Chill Your Glass: Place a martini glass in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before mixing. A cold glass keeps the drink at the right temperature without excessive dilution from ice. A warm glass will water down the cocktail quickly, especially if you shake with ice.
2. Measure the Spirits: Pour 1.5 oz (45 ml) of Dady'O Mezcal and 1 oz (30 ml) of Yoshi Matcha Liqueur into a shaker. This ratio highlights the matcha flavor while the mezcal adds depth. If you prefer a stronger smoky note, increase the mezcal to 2 oz and reduce the liqueur to 0.75 oz.
3. Shake with Ice: Fill the shaker with ice, seal it, and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Over-shaking adds too much water; under-shaking leaves the drink warm and unbalanced. Listen for the ice to stop rattling—that's your cue that the drink is cold enough.
4. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass. No garnish is needed, but a thin slice of cucumber or a matcha powder dusting adds visual appeal without altering the flavor. Avoid using a lemon twist—the citrus can clash with the vegetal matcha notes.
