Purple Rain
What a pretty drink! I had this vision in my head and it turned out exactly the way I wanted. This is a great cooling refresher as we are experiencing crazy heatwaves.
Traditionally, a “Purple Rain” cocktail is made with Blue Curaçao and Grenadine to achieve the distinct purple hue. We decided to use the magical Butterfly Pea Flower Tea that’s literally everywhere on social media, literally!
I did make this alcohol free this time so this is a mocktail, a cooling refresher/ lemonade iced tea style. But if we were to add any type of spirit, I would add Gin and make it a Gin and Tonic.
Recipe | Serving Size: 1
Ice
Sparkling Water
Simple Syrup
Lemonade
There isn’t really any measurements this time because I just poured however much felt right. It’s really up to you how much sparkling water, lemonade and tea you want in this drink.
If you want to make this a cocktail, I recommend a good gin like Bombay Sapphire and Tanqueray Gin. I would add the ice, gin, sparkling water and simple syrup in this order, then stir. Then add the blue tea followed by the lemonade to get the cool gradient effect.
Enjoy! 🤍💜
