Instructions

This captivating cocktail is a visual and gustatory marvel, showcasing the magic of butterfly pea flower tea's natural color-changing properties. Served in a highball glass, its layers transition from a deep, mesmerizing blue to a soft lavender as citrus interacts with the tea, offering not just a drink, but an experience. Ingredients: - 1.5 oz Vodka - 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice - 0.75 oz Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Syrup (see preparation below) - 0.5 oz Elderflower Liqueur - 2 oz Soda Water - Ice - Garnish: A sprig of lavender or a lemon twist Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Syrup Preparation: - Brew a strong butterfly pea flower tea by steeping 2 tablespoons of dried butterfly pea flowers in 1 cup of hot water for 10 minutes. - Strain the flowers out and dissolve 1 cup of granulated sugar in the tea while it's still warm to make a syrup. - Allow the syrup to cool before using. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Technique: Color-Changing Layering 1. Fill the highball glass with ice. 2. In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, elderflower liqueur, and freshly squeezed lemon juice with ice. Shake vigorously. 3. Carefully layer the butterfly pea flower tea syrup over the ice in the glass by gently pouring it over the back of a spoon to minimize mixing. 4. Slowly pour the vodka mixture over the butterfly pea flower tea syrup in the same manner, allowing it to layer on top. 5. Top the drink with soda water, pouring it gently to maintain the layers. 6. Garnish with a sprig of lavender or a lemon twist. As the cocktail is stirred, watch the magic happen—the acidity from the lemon juice gradually changes the pH of the drink, shifting its color from a deep, enchanting blue to a soft, captivating lavender, enchanting your senses before the first sip.
