Jasmine green tea brings this soft, floral flavor that just works with a classic martini. I like how those gentle tea notes give the drink a lighter and more refreshing taste than your typical martini.
It really blends two simple worlds—tea and cocktails—without any confusing steps. If you want a new twist on a well-known drink, this cocktail is easy to make at home.
You don’t need special skills or any fancy equipment to enjoy it. This is a drink you can serve at small gatherings or just sip by yourself, no pressure.
