A Color-Changing Peach Mocktail with Mint, Seltzer, and Butterfly Pea Tea Magic

This Sassy Peach Mocktail by Marlene of @savorwithmarlene brings drama and refreshment to your glass. Think: ripe peach, zippy lemon juice, and sweet agave, all balanced with fresh mint and topped off with a fizzy ginger-lemon seltzer. The secret ingredient? Butterfly pea tea, which transforms the drink with a bold pop of color and adds a subtle floral edge.

Perfect for summer brunches, non-alcoholic happy hours, or any time you want a mood-boosting sip without the booze. It’s fresh, functional, and very photogenic.

Ingredients

• ½ ripe peach, mashed or muddled
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup (or adjust to taste)
• 4–5 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
• ½ cup ginger lemon seltzer water
• 2–3 tablespoons chilled butterfly pea tea

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Build the Base

• In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, add:
  • Mashed peach
  • Lemon juice
  • Agave syrup
  • Mint leaves
• Muddle gently to release the peach and mint oils. Add ice and shake or stir to chill.

Step 2: Assemble the Mocktail

• Strain or pour mixture into a glass filled with ice.
• Top with ginger lemon seltzer water.
• Gently pour in the butterfly pea tea over the back of a spoon for a layered look.

Step 3: Garnish and Serve

• Garnish with a mint sprig, peach slice, or lemon wheel.
• Stir before sipping to blend the flavors and watch the color change.

Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions

• Brew butterfly pea tea in advance and chill. For deeper color, steep longer.
• Swap agave with honey or maple syrup depending on your vibe.
• Want extra zing? Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or a few ginger slices to the muddle.
• Serve in a stemless wine glass or highball for extra visual impact.
