Sencha Mule

A refreshing twist on the classic Moscow Mule, the Sencha Mule blends the bold spice of ginger beer with the subtle, earthy notes of sencha-infused shochu (or sencha-infused vodka). Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea, is naturally rich in antioxidants like catechins, which are known for their health-supporting properties. These antioxidants not only contribute to the tea’s slightly grassy, umami-rich flavor but also give the cocktail a nourishing twist. As the frozen sencha tea cubes slowly melt, they deepen the drink’s complexity with each sip—resulting in a cocktail that’s crisp, invigorating, and effortlessly smooth from start to finish.
