TEA COCKTAIL RECIPE! 💓 - LEMON SPRITZER

Valentine's Day is right around the corner and this tea cocktail recipe captures the spirit of this special day. It is sweet, colorful, and freakin adorable. 🤗 Made with our Butterfly Garden tea, this cocktail is floral, light, and refreshing. It is sweetened with an Orange Blossom simple syrup and topped with a fresh squeeze of lemon, which turns this cocktail from pastel blue to a sunset pink. How much more magical can you get?

For simple syrup:

• 3-4 tsp. Butterfly Garden
• 1/2 cup Orange Blossom honey
• 1/2 cup hot water

For cocktail:

• 1.5 ounce of vodka
• 1 ounce Butterfly Garden simple syrup 
• 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
• lemon peel to garnish
• top with sparkling water

Instructions:

1. To make the simple syrup, add Butterfly Garden, water and Orange Blossom honey to a saucepan over medium heat until completely combined. Let it simmer for 5 minutes or so once it reaches a light boil. Strain mixture to remove tea. You can pick a few pea flowers out of the tea blend to put in your syrup after it is strained to give it a darker blue color. Chill syrup with extra pea flowers until you are ready to use it. You can keep this simple syrup in your refrigerator for up to 2 weeks!
2. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice and add Butterfly Garden syrup and vodka. Shake until beverage is chilled, then pour over a large ice cube. Squeeze lemon into the drink and watch it change color! Top with your favorite sparkling water to cut the sweetness. Garnish with a lemon peel and serve.
