Created by UVA Wine and Cocktail Bar in Vancouver to embrace blueberries in their prime, the Bacche e Bolle is sure to impress even the most seasoned cocktail aficionados. A staple in the cocktail arena, UVA has garnered a reputation for themselves in Vancouver for creating seasonal cocktails and winning numerous awards for them.
This cocktail is as beautiful as it is tasty. It harnesses the beauty of butterfly pea flowers, which are known for their colour changing abilities. The flowers are originally blue, but are sensitive to changes in PH, so once you add a splash of lemon juice, the acid will change the PH and will change the colour from blue to purple.
Head to the farmers market and stock up on the juiciest blueberries you can find, and get pouring.
