The pH indicating part of blue gin comes from butterfly pea tea, which is beautiful and quite delicious.
You can make a neat cocktail by mixing regular clear gin (2oz), a squeeze of lime juice (1/2oz), and tonic water (5.5oz). Mix and chill the cocktail, then pour and serve it over ice-cubes made out of frozen butterfly pea tea. The cocktail will appear blue at first because of the ice, but turn purple as the ice melts thanks to the acidity from the lime. The flavor will also become more floral as the tea gets incorporated. It makes for a really cool-tasting drink and an even better party trick if you let it surprise people.

I was thinking you might be talking about the pH of a mixer, but given the amount it looks like three neat pours? So PH indicator of what, exactly? Unless there are different mixers in there and you had to low dose them otherwise it washed out the color changing effect.
