Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sour Mix

    If you haven't prepared homemade sour mix, combine equal parts of fresh lemon juice and simple syrup in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Blueberries

    In a cocktail shaker, add the blueberries and mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to smash them gently to release their juices.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the homemade sour mix, orange juice, and simple syrup to the shaker with the muddled blueberries and mint.

  4. 4

    Shake it Up

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice. Slowly pour the butterfly pea flower tea over the top to create a beautiful layered effect.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish with a few whole blueberries and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
