The drink for this week’s episode is nothing short of MAGICAL. Say hello to ❤️❤️❤️

1 oz gin
½ oz St. Germain elderflower liqueur
4 oz sparkling water
½ oz lemon juice
½ oz simple syrup
¼ tsp butterfly pea powder

Add the butterfly pea powder to the sparkling water and whisk until dissolved. It will fizz up a bit, so use a tall glass or liquid measuring cup so you don't make a mess.

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and add the gin, St. Germain and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds.

Add in the sparkling water mixture and shake gently for a few seconds, just to combine, then pour into a glass over ice.

Slowly pour in lemon juice, then stir and watch your cocktail turn from vibrant blue into a deep purple/pink!
