The traditional mojito gets a sophisticated twist with the addition of high-grade matcha powder. While mint and lime remain the cocktail's backbone, matcha adds a complex layer of umami(a basic taste that gives foods a savory, pleasant flavor) and subtle sweetness that transforms this summer favorite into a year-round delicacy.
