Method: Prepare a cocktail glass with a half-rim of salt, then pour butterfly pea flower tea and fill cocktail glass with ice. In a shaker with ice, combine spirits and lime juice. Shake well to chill, then strain into prepared cocktail glass. This is a great at-home science experiment. The blue tea and pale green margarita turn a fluorescent purple when combined.
