Get ready to fall in love...with this beautiful cocktail. It has all the makings of your favorite rom-com: a flowery and sweet beginning, followed by a light and bright finish where everything always works out. Our color-changing festive drink is the perfect “night-in” beverage for Valentine's Day, date night, or your galentine's day celebration. The magic ingredient that takes this potion from a nine to a ten? Butterfly pea flower tea.
Butterly pea tea is made from the petals of a Southeast Asian flower and dried lemongrass. It’s known to help reduce anxiety, bring good vibes, and be a mood enhancer. When the tea mixes with the sour lemon juice, it changes the drink from navy blue to a warm purple, with the lemon balancing out the gin and vanilla syrup mixture. The color-changing magic is nothing short of exhilarating—this drink is a certified heartthrob.
