This cool and refreshing tonic from Monsoon was inspired by the powerful antioxidant benefits of green tea. If your local liquor store doesn’t carry Zen Green Tea Liqueur from Suntory, why not try one of the recipes for homemade green liqueur that can be found online?

1 oz (30 ml) vodka

1/2 oz (15 ml) Zen Green Tea Liqueur

Club soda, for topping

Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the vodka and green tea liqueur. Stir thoroughly. Top with soda water and stir briefly.
