Matcha Espresso Martini recette

A matcha espresso martini gives you the richness of a classic espresso martini with a cleaner green finish. It is bold, caffeinated, and meilleur for evening occasions where you want flavour and lift.

Why add matcha to an espresso martini?

Matcha softens roasted café bitterness and adds a more rounded finish. The trick is restraint. Use only 1g matcha so café remains dominant.

What espresso profile works meilleur?

Use fresh espresso with chocolate or nut notes rather than very high-acid light roasts. Let the shot cool for 1 to 2 minutes before shaking so foam forms better.

How do you get proper foam on top?

Shake hard with enough ice for at least 15 seconds, then double-strain into a chilled coupe. Dilution and aeration are both essential for the classic foam cap.

If foam is weak, your espresso may be too old or the drink was under-shaken.
