Sky High Air Force mocktail in a champagne flute with pale sky-blue color, white cloud foam, and silver wing garnish against a sky background

Ingredients

2 oz butterfly pea flower tea, cooled
1 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz simple syrup
4 oz sparkling water
1 oz aquafaba (chickpea liquid) or 1 egg white, for foam
Ice cubes
Lemon twist and silver wing cocktail pick, for garnish

Instructions

Brew butterfly pea flower tea and cool completely.
In a shaker without ice, add the aquafaba (or egg white). Dry shake vigorously for 30 seconds to build foam.
Add the butterfly pea flower tea, lemon juice, simple syrup, and ice. Shake for 15 seconds.
Strain into a champagne flute.
Top with sparkling water — the dilution will create the pale sky-blue color.
Spoon the aquafaba foam gently on top to create the cloud effect.
Garnish with a lemon twist and a silver wing pick.
