Gear up for tomorrow with this festive St. Patrick’s Day Cocktail: Matcha Lemonade Vodka Cooler. This green drink is great for any occasion, but it’s certainly perfect for St. Patty’s Day! It combines my favorite spirit, vodka, with Natalie’s Matcha Lemonade, a hint of fresh lemon and muddled cucumber.
Matcha tea is made from ground green tea leaves and usually comes in powdered form. The Matcha craze has been going strong for a couple of years now and it’s slowly made it’s way into the cocktail scene. There are so many ways to enjoy this funky green powder!
When Natalie’s started selling Matcha Lemonade this year, they made it easier for you to get your Matcha tea fix, plus they combined it with their tasty lemonade.
I decided to create this green drink with freshness in mind. The muddled cucumber is the perfect match for the lemon and matcha tea flavors. You can add a splash of soda if you want a bubbly drink (yes, please!) or just follow the recipe and skip the soda. Either way, it’s a win! So whether you enjoy this recipe on St. Patrick’s Day or you choose to make it any other day of the year, you won’t be disappointed with the zingy, fresh flavor!
