Marg posted her Scotch Frog cocktail and I happened to have all the ingredients.
Okay, turns out I lied, because while I had 8 lemons, I had ZERO limes. Still...
and here it is: 
ready to toast in Old Saint Nick. Thankfully, there are no cement parking bumpers near by for me to trip over.
Then we left the bar and walked down to the Science lab. Butterfly pea powder has an acidic pH so when you add it to another acidic base (like lemonade), the pH is cumulative, pH drops further and the color changes. The hydrated pea powder is a deep blue, but changes to purple when I add the lemonade.

So here is that non-alcoholic cocktail:
Finally Yotam Ottolenghi's Potato Slab pie. When he asked the assistant chef how she came up with this idea, she said "I like pastry, I like potatoes and I like cheese. Need I say more?"
Hallelujah, sister.
