Yu the Great | non-alcoholic cocktail

About a year ago, I was unable to drink alcohol for medical reasons. So I dove into some recipes for non-alcoholic cocktails, and I wasn't disappointed. There are loads of excellent non-alcoholic recipes that I enjoy just as much as their alcoholic counterparts.

This recipe is from the book Good Drinks:

• 1oz basil matcha syrup
• 1oz heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk
• 3/4 oz lime juice
• 3 oz soda water
• matcha for garnish

Shake syrup, cream, and juice with ice and strain into a Collins glass over ice. Add soda water carefully and garnish by sprinkling matcha powder on top.

Enjoy your Independence Day weekend!
