The humble Fizz is popping up on more and more menus around Australia, but few bartenders put them together as deliciously as does James Irvine, the creative cocktail lead for Merivale, and the creator of the Matcha Fizz at JAM Record Bar in Sydney.

“The Matcha Fizz embodies what JAM Record Bar is about,” says James. “Fun, casual, come as you are hospitality. The Matcha Fizz embodies that with tones of iconic Japanese flavour profiles and a humble variation of a classic fizz.”
