Hey There,

This cocktail is interesting, sophisticated and complex! We came across this recipe on TikTok (@moresavorygoods) who shares he discovered it at Handshake Speakeasy Bar in Mexico City and reverse engineered it. We felt like giving this a shot and found it to be extremely good! We hope you enjoy! As always, if you make any of our drinks, take a picture and share them with us online!

Let's Make the Simple Syrup!

1. In your small sauce pan add: 

   • 1 Cup Water

   • 1 Cup Sugar

   • Vanilla Bean or Vanilla Extract

2. Let simmer over medium/low heat until liquid is Reduced by half  (~10-12 mins.)

3. Set aside to chill.
    

Let's Make the Drink!

1. First we need to create the cordial.

   • Add Matcha, lemon juice and vanilla simple syrup to blender and blend.

   • Add Greek yogurt and blend again.

   • Strain liquid by pouring liquid into coffee filter or cheese cloth and set cordial aside. We used a funnel to stabilize. This process will be slow and take a little bit of time. 

2. When you've created the cordial, to your mixing glass add:

   • Equal parts cordial and gin with an ice cube (we used 1 1/2 oz. of each)

   • Stir until chill.

3. Using a separate cube of ice, shave white chocolate on top and place in tumbler.

4. Strain mixture (from mixing glass)  into your tumbler and gently stir.

5. Enjoy!
