This emerald cocktail blends smoky mezcal with grassy matcha and bright lime for a sipping drink that balances bitterness against citrus and agave sweetness. A dusting of edible green glitter gives the glass a touch of theatrical shimmer, making it a striking choice for themed parties or an evening cocktail with a dramatic flair.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 ounces mezcal
  • 1/2 ounce triple sec
  • 3/4 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce agave syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1 ounce water
  • 1/4 teaspoon edible green glitter
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt, for rimming
  • 1 lime wedge, for rimming and garnish
  • 2 ice cubes, large

Method

  1. In a small bowl, whisk the matcha powder with the water until smooth and fully dissolved, breaking up any clumps.

  2. Run the lime wedge around the rim of a chilled margarita or rocks glass, then dip the rim into the coarse salt to coat evenly.

  3. Fill a cocktail shaker with the large ice cubes, then add the mezcal, triple sec, lime juice, agave syrup, and the prepared matcha mixture.

  4. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds until the shaker feels cold and frosted on the outside.

  5. Strain the mixture into the salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice.

  6. Sprinkle the edible green glitter over the surface of the drink, letting it swirl and settle for visual effect.

  7. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and serve immediately.
