When infused with Butterfly Pea Flower, Wheyward Spirit turns a beautiful blue hue for this refreshing springtime cocktail. And once added to the rest of the cocktail, a color-changing surprise appears!
1 1/2 oz Butterfly Pea Flower Infused Wheyward Spirit
1/2 oz Honey Wine Syrup
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
3 oz high quality tonic (We like Fever Tree Tonic)
Garnish: fresh herbs such as thyme, mint, and rosemary
Measure the Wheyward Spirit into a small shot glass and set aside. In a footed tonic glass combine the syrup, lemon and tonic. Garnish with herbs.
When you are ready to present or drink, pour the infused Wheyward Spirit into the glass to watch the magic color-change happen. Stir drink to combine.
