Starbucks Tropical Butterfly Refresher Copycat
/
A Starbucks copycat Strawberry Butterfly Refresher typically combines a sweet strawberry base (white grape juice, strawberry syrup, and acai powder) with butterfly pea flower tea for a vibrant blue-to-purple color change. Mix 1/2 cup strawberry base, 1/2 cup water (or sparkling water), and 1/4 cup brewed butterfly pea tea over ice, finishing with freeze-dried strawberries.
Ingredients
Strawberry Base: 2 cups white grape juice mixed with 1 cup blended/strained fresh strawberries and 1 tsp acai powder.
Butterfly Tea: 1-2 tsp butterfly pea flower powder or tea bags brewed in 2 oz hot water (creates blue color).
Liquid: 1/2 cup water, lemonade, or sparkling water.
Garnish: Freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry popping boba.
Instructions
Prepare the Base: Blend strawberries and white grape juice, strain through a mesh sieve, and stir in acai powder.
Brew the Blue: Steep butterfly pea flowers in hot water to create a concentrated blue tea.
Assemble: In a glass filled with ice, pour the strawberry base and water/lemonade.
Butterfly Effect: Slowly pour the butterfly pea tea on top to create a color-changing effect, stirring just before drinking
