Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • Blue pea flowers
  • boiling water
  • 120 ml (½ cup) cranberry juice
  • 80 ml (⅓ cup) gin
  • 30 ml (3 tbsp) St Germain (Elderflower liqueur)
  • 4 fresh or tinned lychee
  • 4 cocktail cherries (or blueberries)

Instruction

  • First make a pot of blue pea flower tea – let it steep until the color is really an intense blue.
  • Leave the tea to cool then freeze to make ice cubes. Once these are solid, crush them in a powerful blender until you have blue crushed ice. You can keep this in a jug in the freezer until you need to use it.
  • Shake the cranberry juice, gin, St Germain and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker half filled with ice,
  • Fill two glasses with ice cubes and then divide the cocktail between the glasses.
  • Top with the blue crushed ice which will gradually turn purple as it melts!
  • Place cocktail cherries (or blueberries!) inside fresh or tinned lychee to create the eyeballs and thread them on a cocktail stick to garnish.
