No Rest for the Wicked

From Jessica Gleman

About This Cocktail

This original "Wicked"-themed cocktail draws its name and vivid green hue from Elphaba herself. Earthy matcha meets bright pineapple and cooling mint in a cocktail that’s equal parts enchanting and wicked.

Ingredients

  • 2½ oz Macha (prepared to your preferred strength)
  • 2 oz Vodka
  • 1 oz Pineapple juice
  • ½ oz Simple syrup
  • ¼ oz Lemon juice
  • ¼ cup Mint Leaves (~8)

Instructions

  1. In a cocktail shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves with the simple syrup.
  2. Add vodka, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and prepared chilled matcha to the shaker. Then, fill the shaker about three-quarters full with ice.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker feels frosty and the mixture is well chilled.
  4. Double-strain into a glass over one large ice cube.
  5. Lightly slap a few mint sprigs to activate essential oils, and place the sprigs atop the drink for garnish.
