Matcha Matcha Kombucha Blend Cocktail Recipe

I really like how this drink balances earthy matcha with the tang of kombucha and a hint of citrus. The vodka and honey bring everything together, so it’s refreshing but still has plenty of flavor.

Equipment

• Cocktail shaker – sturdy enough for mixing with ice.
• Fine mesh strainer – keeps out any matcha clumps.
• Bar spoon – makes it easy to stir honey and matcha into the mix.
• Measuring jigger – helps you keep the alcohol and juice amounts on point.
• Small whisk or matcha whisk – dissolves the matcha powder much better.
• Citrus juicer – makes squeezing fresh lime or lemon a breeze.
• Rocks glass or coupe glass – pick whichever you like for serving.
• Ice cubes – always go for fresh ice.

Honestly, using a good shaker and strainer makes a big difference. If you skip them, the texture can get gritty or just a bit off.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• 2 ounces vodka
• 1 ounce fresh lime juice or lemon juice
• 0.5 ounce honey (or honey syrup—it mixes easier)
• 2 ounces kombucha (plain or lightly flavored is best)
• 1 fresh egg white (optional, for foam and texture)
• Ice cubes

I almost always use plain kombucha, since the flavored ones can kind of drown out the matcha. Honey syrup mixes in more smoothly, but regular honey works too if that’s what you have.

Instructions

• Whisk matcha powder with a splash of warm water until it’s smooth.
• Add vodka, lime juice, honey, and egg white (if you want foam) to a shaker.
• Pour in the dissolved matcha.
• Toss in some ice and shake hard for about 15 seconds.
• Strain it through a fine mesh strainer into your glass.
• Top off with kombucha and give it a gentle stir.
• Garnish with a lime wedge or a dusting of matcha powder if you’re feeling fancy.

If I use egg white, I like to do a “dry shake” (shake without ice) first to get a better foam, then add ice and shake again.

Notes

I usually reach for ceremonial-grade matcha because it tastes smoother. Lower grades just end up too bitter for cocktails.

If you want it sweeter, add a little more honey or go with a flavored kombucha. If you want more bite, squeeze in extra lime juice.

Egg white is totally optional, but I think it gives the drink a creamy texture and a nice foamy cap. If you leave it out, it’ll still taste bright and super refreshing.

This recipe makes one serving. Want more? Just double or triple everything.

Tasting Notes

When I take the first sip, the light earthy flavor from the matcha hits me right away. It’s smooth and a little grassy, but honestly, it doesn’t overpower anything.

That gentle fizz from the kombucha just sort of lifts the drink, making it super refreshing. I love how the sweet and tart flavors play off each other.

The kombucha gives it this mild tang, and the matcha keeps everything grounded. Somehow, the taste feels clean and easy to drink—nothing weird or heavy.

I also notice how the drink makes me feel, which is half the fun. The matcha gives me this calm, focused energy, and the kombucha feels light on my stomach.

After I finish, I don’t feel weighed down at all. That makes it easy to reach for any time, honestly.

Here are a few notes I like to keep in mind:

• Aroma: fresh, grassy, and just a little fruity
• Flavor: earthy matcha, tangy kombucha, mild sweetness
• Texture: smooth with gentle bubbles
• Aftertaste: clean, with a soft green tea finish

I find the mix especially nice when I’m after that superfood boost. The matcha packs in antioxidants, and the kombucha adds this lively sparkle.

Put together, they leave me feeling refreshed and just a bit more energized—not in an overwhelming way, but in a way that makes me want to keep sipping.
