Carley Gaskin Matcha Cocktail Recipe
This zero-waste drink is named after the Egyptian god of the earth, Geb, and is intended to look like a matcha latte. “Nothing was thrown away for the cocktail, which I thought was pretty great,” says Carley Gaskin. This drink won her Bombay Sapphire’s 2018 Most Imaginative Bartender title, so the judges obviously agreed. This version, however, is a simplified rendition.
