Recipe Tips
- A tiny pinch of silver luster dust is all you need — less is more.
- The lemon juice will slightly shift the color from deep blue toward purple — that's normal and beautiful.
- For a non-sparkling version, replace sparkling water with cold water for a more intense blue color.
Make It Your Own
For a crowd: Batch the base in a neutral pitcher and let guests choose branch-color garnishes or citrus finishes at the table.
Easy swaps: Use seasonal fruit in the same color family if a particular garnish is hard to find. Use sparkling water in place of sweet soda for a drier, lighter toast.
