    Sparkling Blackberry Basil Refresher

    I created this sparkling blackberry basil refresher recipe for a brunch with friends but it is the perfect summer beverage enjoyed in the sunshine!  I love it with fresh basil from the garden, yummy!

    Sparkling Blackberry Basil Refresher Recipe

    Sparkling Blackberry Basil Refresher Ingredients:

    • 8-10 large fresh or frozen blackberries
    • 3 T. fresh basil, torn
    • ¼ c. honey, preferably local
    • ¼ c. water
    • 1 750 ml bottle Prosecco, chilled
    • 4 oz. Elderflower liqueur, optional but adds great flavor
    • Fresh blackberries, optional garnish
    • Sprigs of fresh basil, optional garnish

    Sparkling Blackberry Basil Refresher  Directions:

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

    You can make the simple syrup the day before to save time on this recipe so you aren’t in a rush while guests arrive.  I like to freeze blackberries to add to the beverage, that way your drinks stay cool without being watered down.  I hope you enjoy this Sparkling Blackberry Basil Refresher!
