Matchatini
The espresso martini has hit the streets of metropolitan cities everywhere, SPRINTING. Rightfully so because the sweeet delight of caffeine and 2 shots of vodka seem to be like the perfect combination to start, or end, your night.
However, for the folks who don’t drink coffee or dislake the sweet, sweet taste- this matchatini is a rich and powerful drink to devour instead.
The sweet earthy flavor of matcha is enhanced with the floral notes of orange blossom syrup and the warming comfort of amaretto-making it the perfect vice to indulge in during the autumn and winter.
