Prophecy’s Wabi Sabi Martini
Jeff Savage, the beverage director at Vancouver’s Prophecy, created this martini in homage to Japanese poet and tea master Sen no Rikyū. This is one best tried IRL at the bar: Savage uses a rotary evaporator to combine ceremonial-grade matcha with Tanqueray No. Ten Gin, resulting in a clear, silky and very flavourful drink.
