Spicy Matcha Margarita
The Spice & Tea Exchange
2 margaritas
5 minutes
Spice up your summer cocktail game with a matcha margarita. This summer refresher can be tailored to one’s desired level of heat and the combination of sweet pineapple, sour lime, and matcha strikes a perfect balance. Silver tequila, sometimes referred to as blanco, is rarely aged more than a couple weeks, making it the purest form of tequila. It is often considered the best type for mixed drinks and commonly used in margaritas.
