Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ ounce butterfly pea flower infused vodka or gin
  • 1 ounce orange liqueur
  • ¾ ounce lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon red edible glitter gel icing optional
  • Lemon peel and/or toy spider for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Add vodka or gin, orange liqueur, lemon juice (*see notes), and edible glitter (if using) to a cocktail shaker. Add ice and shake well.
  • Strain into a coupe or other cocktail glass.
  • Garnish with a lemon peel and/or plastic toy spider on the rim.

Notes

*Lemon juice in "potion" bottles
  • If you're feeling extra, you can leave out the lemon juice until the very end. You can add the lemon juice to a old vintage bottle or vial (available at most craft stores) and have guests pour over top of the finished cocktail to watch the color shift, which is subtle but pretty.
