Green Tea Vodka?

Yes  Suntory, now makes Zen Green Tea Liqueur!

Because I am yet to turn 21, I haven’t tried this alcoholic beverage as of yet, but as soon as the birthday comes around on June 19, I will be trying it out for sure. 

Meanwhile, according to the Web site, Zen has a  “unique taste [that] is a perfect balance of specially selected Kyoto green tea leaves, premium herbs and natural flavors.  Zen Green Tea Liqueur honors the revitalizing qualities of tea and fuses it with the celebratory nature of spirits.”
