Matcharita
Matcha + Tequila = Matcharita
by jacqueline from golden rule Spirits
As the Content Creator for Golden Rule Spirits, I've gotten pretty familiar with what a good margarita should taste like. My best friend and I have made this recipe countless times, and it never fails to be a conversation starter.
Matcha (the star of the show) is not just a morning coffee alternative! If you want to spice up your Golden Rule Marg (substitute it for the tequila/ lime/ Cointreau) or just try a new cocktail, the Matcharita is a spin on a classic and will also satisfy your caffeine addiction for the day.
The ceremonial grade matcha for this recipe is a must – especially if you want the vibrant green color and slightly sweet taste. Traditionally, matcha is whisked into hot water, but for the purpose of this recipe it's mixed into tequila.
Matcharita Ingredients:
2 oz of tequila (reposado is my favorite)
1 oz of Cointreau
Juice of half a lime
Drizzle of agave (if you like it sweeter)
1 teaspoon of ceremonial grade matcha powder
1 tablespoon of matcha + sugar to garnish

Matcha whisk or handheld frother
Stirring glass
Ice strainer
Low ball margarita glass

Step 4
