1750 ml bottle Prosecco, chilled

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!
