A Matcha Mojito is the perfect mix of refreshing and energizing!
It’s got that cool, minty mojito vibe but with an earthy kick from matcha.
No alcohol in this one—just pure, feel-good goodness.
It’s light, a little sweet, and so refreshing on a warm day.
Plus, matcha gives you a nice boost without the jitters. Let’s make it!
What You’ll Need
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup
- Juice of 1 lime
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup sparkling water
- Extra mint and lime slices for garnish
Pro Tips
✅ Use quality matcha – Go for ceremonial grade for the best smooth, non-bitter taste.
✅ Whisk well – A little froth makes this extra delicious. A matcha whisk (or even a milk frother) works great!
✅ Muddle gently – Press the mint just enough to release the oils without tearing the leaves.
✅ Adjust sweetness – Taste as you go! More honey if you like it sweeter, less if you prefer tart.
✅ Make it fancy – Add a splash of coconut water for a tropical twist.
Tools You’ll Need
- Small bowl (for mixing matcha)
- Matcha whisk or small regular whisk
- Muddler or spoon (for mint)
- Tall glass

Make-Ahead Tips

How to Make It
1. Mix the matcha
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon matcha powder and 2 tablespoons hot water until smooth and frothy.
2. Muddle the mint
In a tall glass, add mint leaves, lime juice, and honey. Use a muddler or spoon to gently press the mint leaves to release their oils.
3. Add ice & matcha
Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour the whisked matcha over the top.
4. Top with sparkling water
Pour in sparkling water and give it a gentle stir.
5. Garnish & serve
Add extra lime slices and mint leaves on top. Pop in a straw and enjoy!
Leftovers & Storage
