Margaritas are the ultimate summer staple, and vegan hot-spot By Chloe recently created a healthier version that will cool you down and give you a matcha-induced energy boost in the process.

You can enjoy the restaurant's new margarita for $10 a pop throughout May at the Bleecker Street, Rock Center, and Flatiron locations in New York City, as well as in Providence, Rhode Island, or you can recreate it in the comfort of your own home. It's easy, too: All it takes to whip up the healthified cocktail is some cashew cream, agave nectar, matcha powder, and a little tequila.

Want all the refreshment and brain-boosting benefits without the booze? It tastes just as good without the tequila. Scroll down for the recipe.Matcha Margartia - - cashew cream, agave nectar, water, matcha powder, silver tequila, mint sprig, for garnish, , Fill glass with ice.
