- 5

Recipe Tips
- Use clear ice if you want the gradient to show cleanly. The visual drama is half the experience.
- Pour the tea slowly over the back of a bar spoon for the strongest layering effect.
- Brew butterfly pea tea up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate. Mix the passion fruit base up to 24 hours ahead. Add bubbles only when serving.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Pre-batch the fruit and citrus base, then finish individual glasses with sparkling water for a fresher toast.
Easy swaps: Use raspberries or blackberries based on availability. Use rosemary or thyme in place of a floral herb garnish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead?
Make the still base ahead and add bubbles only when serving.
What makes it feel special?
A cold stemmed glass, one intentional garnish, and a clean sparkling finish.
Can I make it less sweet?
Use more citrus or sparkling water and reduce syrup gradually.
