Does anyone here know what's in this drink? I tried a Google but only found other petridish-like cocktails and shooters that pale by comparison.

looks like the recipe is here

edit: or not. the image matches but, after actually paying attention to the recipe, I'm not sure that sounds right.

No, it sounds right. There's matcha, but with the acid from the lemonade curdling the milk, it's used to clump shit together so that the drink can be filtered and clarified. I've never tried it, but I've seen the technique used a number of times.

Yeah same concept as a milk-washed cocktail, which cuts down on the bitter/astringent flavors in liquor. Works really well, I bet this drink would be delicious

Wow, you all are amazing. Thanks.

Would lactose-intolerant people be able to drink this or is enough milk left behind that it would cause issues?

I don't know enough about the chemistry going on to give you a confident answer. I assume not though - I don't think curdling milk gets rid of all the lactose, and since you're essentially using curdled milk as a filter with this technique, I wouldn't be surprised if a non-zero amount of lactose made it's way through the filter. I'd have to do some actual research to know for sure though.
