Green Tea Shochu 抹茶焼酎





Shochu, the wonderful distilled spirit of Japan, is a great tipple. The premium shochu "honkaku shochu" that is single distilled, is best enjoyed straight, on the rocks, or with hot water. But sometimes I get the craving for a cocktail and mattcha shochu is a nice switch up to the normal routine.

These mattcha packs are sold in Japan. These are convenient for making mattcha shochu cocktails at home. Simply open up one of these small packets of mattcha into a glass, dissolve in water, and add shochu and ice and voila.

This was made with Jougo, a kokutojochu, or brown sugar shochu.
