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.

Pro Tips and Serving Suggestions
- Brew butterfly pea tea in advance and chill. For deeper color, steep longer.

- 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.
