# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours perfecting it, but you'll have it ready in five minutes.
  • The matcha gives you that calm, focused feeling without the jitters of espresso.
  • It's naturally vegetarian and gluten-free, so you can serve it to almost anyone without worry.
02 -
  • Never shake matcha without sifting it first—I learned this the hard way when I ended up with a gritty drink that looked beautiful but tasted like chalk.
  • The cream needs to be shaken cold, not just poured in; this is what creates that dreamy, frothy layer on top that makes the whole experience feel luxurious.
  • Chill your martini glass before pouring—even thirty seconds in the freezer makes the drink stay colder longer and look more intentional.
03 -
  • If you're making these for multiple people, sift all your matcha into a bowl ahead of time so you're not fumbling during the rush.
  • Keep your vodka in the freezer—it's the secret to a properly chilled cocktail without watering it down with too much ice.
