Butterfly Pea G&T

Seed + Stow Butterfly G&T

Possibly the prettiest cocktail we have made, the Butterfly Pea G&T is a light and refreshing cocktail that is a wonder to watch as you make it. Using Butterfly Pea Tea, which is dark blue when it is brewed becomes shades of purple and pink when made into a cocktail. Combined with a dry gin and tonic water, the Butterfly Pea Tea adds botanical and floral notes to the cocktail, making it the perfect light and refreshing drink, which can also be made into a mocktail without the gin.
