Description
A visually striking, non-alcoholic blue drink perfect for aesthetic photos or themed parties. This recipe uses butterfly pea flower tea for a natural, deep blue color.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup strong brewed and chilled butterfly pea flower tea
- 1/2 cup white grape juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup
- 4 ounces sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Garnish: Lime wheel, edible silver glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Brew the butterfly pea flower tea strongly and chill completely. This provides the base blue color.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the chilled butterfly pea flower tea, white grape juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake briefly to combine and chill the mixture. Do not over-dilute.
- Strain the mixture into a tall, clear glass filled with fresh ice.
- Top the drink with sparkling water or club soda for effervescence.
- If using, gently stir in a small pinch of edible silver glitter to create a ‘galaxy’ effect.
- Garnish with a lime wheel placed on the rim.
Notes
- For a color-changing effect, slowly pour a small amount of extra lime juice into the finished drink; the acid will shift the blue to purple or pink.
- Use clear, tall glasses to best show the vibrant blue color and any glitter suspended in the drink.
- Adjust simple syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
