Butterfly Pea Flower Gin Martini

Course: Drinks

Ingredients

• 2 oz gin preferably a botanical-forward gin
• 1 oz butterfly pea flower tea cooled
• 0.5 oz dry vermouth
• 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
• Ice
• Lemon twist for garnish

Instructions

• Prepare the butterfly pea flower tea: Steep 1 teaspoon of dried butterfly pea flowers in 4 oz of hot water for 5-10 minutes. Strain the flowers, and allow the tea to cool. You can store the tea in the refrigerator for future use.
• Chill the glass: Place a martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill.
• Combine ingredients: In a mixing glass or cocktail shaker, combine the gin, butterfly pea flower tea, and dry vermouth. Fill the glass or shaker with ice.
• Stir: Using a long-handled bar spoon, stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds or until well chilled.
• Strain and pour: Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass.
• Add the magic: Slowly pour the fresh lemon juice into the cocktail. As the lemon juice mixes with the butterfly pea flower tea, it will cause the cocktail to change color due to the pH change.
• Garnish: Twist a lemon peel over the surface of the cocktail to release its oils, then drop it into the glass or rest it on the rim.
• Enjoy your beautiful and delicious Butterfly Pea Flower Gin Martini!

Glassware

The typical or usual glassware used for a color changing gin martini is a stemmed cocktail glass, also known as a martini glass. This classic drinking vessel has a long stem to keep the drinker’s hands away from the cold beverage, and its conical shape helps to maintain the gin’s aroma while allowing you to enjoy the presentation of your colorful cocktail.

A Mild Subtle Floral Flavor

Butterfly pea flower tea has a mild, subtly earthy flavor with slight notes of floral sweetness. Its taste is often described as being similar to green tea but less grassy and more delicate. The primary appeal of butterfly pea flower tea lies in its vibrant blue color, which changes to purple or pink when an acidic ingredient, like lemon or lime juice, is added.
