Midnight Butterfly Fizz

The Midnight Butterfly Fizz is a visually stunning and refreshingly complex cocktail that plays with the magical color-changing properties of butterfly pea flowers. When acid, such as lemon or lime juice, interacts with the naturally deep blue hue of butterfly pea-infused gin, it transforms into a mesmerizing shade of violet. This cocktail balances the tartness of citrus, the floral notes of elderflower, and the effervescence of soda water, making it a perfect choice for any occasion that calls for something truly extraordinary.
