Ingredients
Scale
Medjool Date Syrup
- 12oz Natural Delights Pitted Medjool Dates
- 2 cups water
Matcha Gin Fizz
- 2 ounces gin*
- 1/2 ounce lemon juice
- 1 ounce Medjool date syrup (above)
- 1/4 tsp matcha powder
- 3–4 ounces club soda
Instructions
Medjool Date Syrup
- In a medium saucepan, bring Natural Delights Pitted Medjool Dates and water to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently and smashing with a spoon or potato masher to break the dates apart.
- After about 30 minutes most of the liquid should be evaporated and the remaining liquid should be quite thick/syrupy.
- Remove from the heat and cool. Then squeeze through a nut milk bag to extract just the syrup (you should get about 1 cup).
- Transfer to a glass jar and keep in the fridge.
Matcha Gin Fizz
- Shake together gin, lemon juice, syrup, and matcha powder in a cocktail shaker (or a jar works if you don’t have one) with ice.
- Strain into a glass, add ice, and top with club soda.
- Garnish with a lemon slice.
Notes
*For an alcohol-free version, leave out the gin and add more club soda.
