Mix & Match: A Botanical Fusion with a Twist
If you’re in the mood for something a little unexpected — something light, earthy and elegantly fresh — the Mix & Match is your next favourite discovery. This beautifully balanced cocktail brings together the delicate sweetness of white grape juice, the grassy depth of matcha, and the cooling clarity of Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon. It’s refined, refreshing, and full of quiet confidence — the kind of drink that makes you stop and savour.
The name Mix & Match says it all. It’s a celebration of contrast and harmony — where fruity meets herbal, and mellow meets crisp. The addition of matcha gives this drink a unique base flavour that’s rich in antioxidants and full of character. When shaken with grape juice and poured over ice, the matcha blends into a soft green hue that looks just as stylish as it tastes. The Cucumber & Watermelon mixer then adds that perfect splash of lightness — delicate, clean, and just a little bit playful.
Why It Works
This cocktail is all about balance. The white grape juice adds gentle sweetness and body without overpowering the other elements, while the matcha offers an earthy backbone and a subtle caffeine kick. The mixer lifts everything, turning what could be a quiet drink into a sparkling showstopper. The final touch? A fig garnish — visually striking and subtly sweet, adding a soft fruitiness to the finish.
When to Serve
The Mix & Match is a brilliant choice for daytime occasions — garden brunches, spa weekends, or an elevated picnic spread. It also works beautifully as a welcome drink at creative events or as a conversation-starter on a cocktail menu. Its unique flavour profile makes it perfect for guests who like to explore outside the classics.
Double Dutch Pairing
Cucumber & Watermelon is essential here — it’s cooling, hydrating and brings out the fresh green notes in the matcha. No other mixer delivers quite the same balance of delicacy and flavour, making it the ideal partner for this creative serve.
Pro Tips
- Sift your matcha: Avoid clumps for a smooth texture when shaking.
- Shake with care: Matcha can be sensitive — shake just enough to blend, not over-aerate.
- Use chilled ingredients: This drink shines when it’s icy cold and super crisp.
Why We Love It
The Mix & Match stands out for all the right reasons. It’s a cocktail that surprises you — not with overpowering flavours, but with thoughtful contrasts and a lingering, elegant finish. It’s calming yet vibrant, familiar yet refreshingly new. Whether you’re a matcha lover or just looking to try something different, this drink invites you to slow down and appreciate the layers in every sip.
Creative, clean and undeniably cool — the Mix & Match is modern mixology at its most mindful.
