With summer in full swing, we're all looking forward to poolside brunches, bright gatherings, and easy, breezy outdoor days. There's nothing like a bright, tangy, and earthy drink to bring a little extra joy to those moments. Whether you're shaking things up for your friends or simply adding something fresh to your morning routine, this matcha pineapple fizz is bound to become a go-to favorite drink. Let's begin!
Ingredients
-
1 teaspoon high-quality matcha powder
-
1/4 cup hot water (not boiling)
-
1 cup pineapple juice
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
Ice cubes
-
Club soda or sparkling water
Optional Add-ins
-
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, adjust to your preferred level of sweetness)
-
Pineapple slices and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions
Prepare the Matcha: In a matcha bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and hot water until the matcha green tea powder is fully dissolved and no lumps remain. A matcha whisk or milk frother works well for this.
Mix the Juice: In a shaker or large glass, combine the pineapple juice, lime juice, and honey/agave syrup. Stir or shake until the honey is completely dissolved.
Combine the Ingredients: Add a couple of ice cubes to a tall glass. Pour in the matcha mixture, followed by the pineapple juice mixture.
Add the Fizz: Top off the matcha drink with club soda or sparkling water to add a fizzy touch.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a slice of pineapple and a sprig of mint for an extra pop of flavor and presentation.
Enjoy: Stir gently before drinking to mix the layers.
Recipe Note
Light, Bright, and Perfect for Summer
We hope this refreshing drink becomes a part of your summertime plans. The vibrant color is striking, and the earthy, umami flavor from the matcha brings a unique depth and is easy to work with. It pairs well with the sweetness of pineapple, making it a great option whether you're serving friends on a hot afternoon or just looking for something different in your day-to-day.
Matcha might not be your usual go-to for a fizzy drink, but it blends surprisingly well and opens up a lot of ways to enjoy it. You can keep it simple over ice or mix it with other ingredients like coconut water or citrus to switch things up. However you make it, it's a refreshing take on the beautiful matcha tea with a little extra spark.
