This refreshing non-alcoholic drink brings together two beloved flavors: bright citrus and earthy matcha green tea.

The tangerine matcha spritz mocktail combines fresh tangerine juice, premium matcha powder, and sparkling water for a bubbly treat that’s perfect for warm spring afternoons.

The recipe takes just 5 minutes to make and needs only basic kitchen tools.

The natural sweetness of tangerine juice pairs well with matcha’s gentle grassy notes, creating a balanced drink that isn’t too sweet.

• Optional: tangerine slices for garnish

Notes

Store leftover simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Fresh tangerine juice works best, but orange juice can substitute in a pinch.

For best results, use ceremonial grade matcha powder rather than culinary grade.

The drink should be served right away while bubbles are fresh and ice is cold.

Pre-chill glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before making drinks.

Tasting Notes

The Tangerine Matcha Spritz brings a bright, citrusy aroma that fills the glass before the first sip.

The first taste reveals sweet tangerine notes balanced with earthy matcha green tea. The combination creates a fresh and uplifting flavor profile.

Bubbles from the sparkling water add a light, effervescent texture that makes each sip refreshing and crisp. The fizz helps spread the flavors across the palate.

The matcha provides subtle grassiness and a gentle umami note that complements the citrus without being too strong. Its natural sweetness pairs well with the tangerine’s natural sugars.

A clean, slightly dry finish leaves a pleasant green tea taste that invites another sip. The mocktail’s flavors remain balanced from start to finish.

Flavor Profile Highlights:

• Primary: Sweet tangerine, grassy matcha
• Secondary: Light mineral notes, gentle umami
• Finish: Clean, refreshing, slightly dry

The drink maintains its flavors well as the ice melts, becoming softer but not watered down. Each element remains distinct yet harmonious throughout.

Substitute

You can swap several ingredients in this mocktail recipe to match your taste or what you have at home.

Replace tangerine juice with orange juice, blood orange juice, or grapefruit juice. Each option brings a different citrus note to the drink.

Instead of matcha powder, try green tea powder or butterfly pea powder. These alternatives create similar green or blue colors while offering unique flavors.

Swap club soda with sparkling water, tonic water, or ginger ale. The fizzy element stays the same, but the taste changes slightly.

Alternative sweeteners:

• Simple syrup
• Agave nectar
• Honey syrup
• Maple syrup

For garnish options, try:

• Orange wheels
• Lemon twists
• Fresh mint leaves
• Edible flowers

If you want a creamier texture, add a splash of coconut milk or oat milk. This makes the drink richer without changing its refreshing nature.
