Positioning line (menu-style)

Matcha on the rocks, Pineapple Mint Verde over ice, finished with a pineapple cold foam that tastes like a five-star pool day in one glass.

Build (per serving)

• 3 oz chilled Pineapple Mint Verde iced tea

• 2 tsp high-quality matcha

• 2–3 oz cold water

• 3–4 oz cold milk of choice (oat, almond, or dairy), or a 50/50 milk + water blend

• Ice

Method

1. In a shaker or bowl, whisk matcha with cold water until smooth.

2. Fill a tall glass halfway with ice.

3. Pour in the chilled Pineapple Mint Verde.

4. Gently layer the iced matcha over the tea (you’ll get a two-tone effect if you pour slowly).

Pineapple cold foam

• 3 tbsp cold heavy cream or barista oat/cream blend

• 2–3 tbsp pineapple juice

• 0.5–1 tbsp vanilla or simple syrup, to taste

Shake or froth until silky and thick enough to float on top.

Assembly

1. With Pineapple Mint Verde and matcha already in the glass over ice, leave about 1–1.5 inches at the top.

2. Spoon or slowly pour the pineapple cold foam over the drink, letting it sit as a distinct layer.

3. Optional: garnish with a tiny pineapple wedge or mint leaf on the foam.**Positioning line (optional for menu)**
