Recipe Tips
- Gold luster dust (food-grade) is available on Amazon — search for 'edible gold luster dust'.
- The butterfly pea tea will shift slightly purple when mixed with the acidic blueberry juice — this is normal and beautiful.
- For a batch version, make the base in a pitcher and add sparkling water per glass.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: For game day, pre-batch the base in a team-color pitcher and keep any soda in a cooler. Let guests add their own garnish.
Easy swaps: Use a fruit with the same team-color effect when the named fruit is unavailable. Use plain soda water to reduce sweetness without losing the game-day look.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare this before the first pitch?
Yes. Prep the base and garnishes ahead, then add ice and bubbles right before serving.
How do I preserve the team colors?
Use clear or light mixers and layer or garnish just before serving.
