Step 1: Make Butterfly Pea Infused Tequila: To make Butterly Pea Flower infused tequila, add the tequila and butterfly pea flowers to a jar with a tight fitting lid. Allow to soak for 2 to 3 hours or overnight. Strain out flowers and keep in a sealed container. Batch will make 4 drinks.
Step 2: Make Color-Changing Margarita: Run a slice of lime around the rim of the glass, dip in salt (optional). Fill the glass with ice, add the butterfly pea infused tequila.
Step 3: In a cocktail shaker, add ice, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup (if using). Shake until combined and chilled. Slowly pour into the glass, and watch the magic happen!
