How long does Matcha Gin Fizz with Lemon and Egg White take to make?
Total time is about 8 minutes (8 min prep + 0 min cook). Most home bartenders find this fits a single afternoon; scale up the batch for parties or pitchers.
How do I store leftover Matcha Gin Fizz with Lemon and Egg White?
Refrigerate any leftover matcha gin fizz with lemon and egg white in a sealed pitcher or jar for up to 3–4 days. Do not reheat — drinks are served chilled. If the recipe uses sparkling water or fresh herbs, hold those back and add fresh just before pouring so the drink stays bright and fizzy.
