The company advises drinkers to “infuse 3 oz. Buckeye Vodka in a mason jar with 3-5 dried butterfly pea flowers. Let sit overnight, then strain out the flowers. The vodka becomes a rich color and is ready to be used.”
Apparently, you can buy the flower online. We found it as tea leaves and as a serum/flavor available at liquor stores.
Here is the recipe:
