This magical spritz starts with a base of lemon vodka and simple syrup made with butterfly pea flowers, which turn color with the introduction of an acid. It’s then topped with fresh lemon juice, which changes the drink from blue to an eye-catching purple-pink. Prosecco is the perfect finishing touch for this elegant conversation-starter, adding just the right amount of acidity and bubbles and turning the drink into a spritz, aka everyone’s favorite summer drink.
