Looking for a fresh take on a classic brunch bevvy? This Matcha-Mosa Morning Mocktail is the perfect dry January-approved swap for a classic mimosa, and for our caffeinated cocktail connoisseurs, a healthy alternative to a nitro-charged espresso martini.

Light, bright, and beautifully layered, this drink combines the natural energy-boosting powers of ceremonial grade matcha green tea with the vitamin C-packed burst of fresh orange juice. Finished with a pop of refreshing sparkle from Valencia Orange Bubbles, this drink is the ultimate sunrise sip.

Besides delicious, this mocktail is brimming with body-boosting benefits. Matcha provides a steady, calm caffeine lift thanks to its unique blend of antioxidants and amino acids, while the vitamin C in orange juice supports your immune system and enhances the absorption of matcha’s beneficial compounds. It’s the perfect way to keep your spirits lifted, without the spirits.

What You’ll Need…

  • • 1 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha (1 teaspoon per glass)
  • • 2oz water to make the matcha concentrate
  • • 2oz orange juice (pulp-free works best here)
  • • 2oz-3oz chilled Valencia Orange Bubbles 

What You’ll Do…

  1. Make matcha by either whisking with a chasen, using a hand-held frother, or shaking matcha and water in a mason jar like a cocktail. Mix matcha and water thoroughly to make a concentrate. 
  2. Pour Valencia Orange Bubbles into a champagne flute or serving glass of choice.
  3. Slowly add your orange juice, making sure to leave room for your matcha! 
  4. Slowly layer in your matcha concentrate on top. 
  5. Sip, serve, and enjoy!
