Description
A bright and refreshing cocktail combining fresh blueberries, lemonade, and sparkling wine, perfect for your next brunch gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- 1 cup vodka or gin (optional)
- 1 bottle (750ml) chilled Prosecco or dry sparkling wine
- Lemon slices for garnish
- Extra blueberries for garnish
Instructions
- Place the fresh blueberries in a sturdy pitcher. Muddle the berries gently to release their juices.
- Add the lemon juice, simple syrup, and vodka or gin (if using) to the pitcher. Stir well to combine the blueberry mixture.
- Chill the base mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, slowly pour the chilled Prosecco into the pitcher. Stir very gently once or twice to incorporate without losing carbonation.
- Pour the cocktail into champagne flutes or wine glasses. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a few fresh blueberries.
Notes
- To make a large batch ahead of time, prepare the blueberry-lemon-syrup-spirit mixture and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not add the sparkling wine until immediately before serving.
- Adjust the simple syrup amount based on the tartness of your lemonade or lemon juice. Taste the base mixture before adding the sparkling wine.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Prosecco with sparkling white grape juice or sparkling lemonade.
