Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil 1 tablespoon of water and pour it over the butterfly pea flower tea. Let it steep for exactly 3 minutes before straining out the flowers.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the coconut water, pineapple juice, lemonade, agave syrup, and lime juice. Use a whisk or spoon to blend well until everything is evenly incorporated.
  3. Pour in your brewed butterfly pea flower tea and stir gently until the mixture shifts to a beautiful turquoise color.
  4. Gently muddle the mint leaves in the pitcher to release their fresh flavor.
  5. Fill each serving glass with ice cubes, pouring the mocktail mixture halfway.
  6. Top off each glass with sparkling water for that lovely fizz, pouring slowly to maintain a delightful layered effect.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of edible glitter into each glass and stir gently. Garnish with a mint sprig and a lime wheel before serving.

Notes

Store unused mocktail mixture in the fridge for up to 2 days, but skip adding sparkling water to prevent fizziness. Prepare the juice mixture and tea in advance for convenience.
