Strawberry Matcha Spritz
Pretty, pink-and-green and lightly fizzy, this strawberry matcha spritz is the grown-up version of the viral strawberry matcha latte. A ruby strawberry base sits under a jade float of ceremonial-grade matcha, lifted with gin and topped with prosecco — fresh, celebratory and beautiful in the glass.

Ingredients
Makes 1 spritz.
- 1 tsp (2 g) ceremonial matcha
- 30 ml hot water (80°C / 175°F, not boiling)
- 4 fresh strawberries (or 45 ml strawberry purée)
- 1 tsp sugar or 10 ml simple syrup
- 30 ml (1 oz) gin (or vodka)
- 15 ml (½ oz) fresh lemon juice
- 60 ml prosecco or soda water, to top
- Ice, plus a strawberry and mint sprig to garnish
How to make a strawberry matcha spritz
- Whisk the matcha. Sift the matcha into a bowl, add the hot water and whisk in a zig-zag with a bamboo chasen until smooth and frothy. Let it cool.
- Muddle the strawberries. Mash the strawberries with the sugar (or blend to a purée) and spoon into the base of a large wine glass.
- Build. Add ice, then pour in the gin and lemon juice. Top with prosecco and give the base a gentle stir.
- Float & garnish. Slowly float the cooled matcha over the top for the pink-to-green layers, then finish with a strawberry and mint. Stir before drinking.
Tips & variations
- Use a milk-free build so the layers stay crisp and jewel-bright.
- Batching for guests? Pre-mix the strawberry, gin and lemon, then top each glass with prosecco and a matcha float to order.
- Colour is everything here — a vivid, first-harvest grade like Miyabi gives the cleanest jade float.
