Ingredients

  • 10 large fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 3 Tbsp fresh basil torn
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 oz elderflower liqueur optional
  • 1 750 ml bottle Prosecco, chilled
  • Fresh blackberries to garnish
  • Sprigs of fresh basil to garnish

Instructions

  • Add the blackberries, basil, honey, and water to a small saucepan on medium heat. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is heated through and starts to thicken. Gently press on blackberries while heating to release juices.
  • Remove from heat and strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove solids. Reserve the remaining liquid and set aside to cool.
  • If using, divide the elderflower liqueur among four (or six) champagne flutes, along with a drizzle of the blackberry simple syrup. Finish by topping off each glass with some chilled Prosecco.
  • Garnish each glass with 2-3 fresh blackberries and a sprig of fresh basil, if desired, before serving. Enjoy!
