With all the “good-for-you” praise green tea gets, we knew it’d only be a matter of time before it got liquor-ed up. Zen Green Tea Liqueur is distilled from ceremonial Japanese green tea grown by Marukyu-Koyama-En, a Kyoto-based company that’s been cultivating tea for more than 300 years. Try it with vodka for a refreshing cocktail:
Zen Master
1 part Zen Green Tea Liqueur
2 parts vodka
Club soda
Cucumber (thinly sliced)Surround and line the base of a glass with fresh cucumber rings. Add ice to the center, pour vodka and soda over the ice; top off with Zen.
