Last week, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time and was able to taste test an upcoming drink from FROTH.
They’ve essentially crafted a Moscow Mule with a muddled basil and matcha as the spirit. (Fitting because their matcha comes from Spirit Tea!) And it’s very good.
Served over ice, this was a really light and refreshing mocktail. Not overly sweet. However, the sweetness and slight spice from the ginger ale is invigorating. And every now and again you get a hit of the matcha earthiness paired with the ginger in an extremely satisfying way.
I think this would be waaaay better with a nicer matcha powder. But as is, the basil ginger combo on top of the green tea almost tastes like there’s a gyokuro underneath.
All in all, another really fabulously crafted matcha drink from FROTH that I highly recommend.
