Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup blackberries
  • 1 1/2 tsp fresh basil (torn)
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 1/2 oz elderflower liqueur
  • 6 oz Prosecco (chilled)
  • fresh blackberries, for garnish
  • fresh basil sprig, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, torn basil, honey, and water. Simmer the mixture over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens and the blackberries release their juices.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove solids. Allow the blackberry syrup to cool.
  3. Pour the elderflower liqueur into a glass and add a drizzle of the blackberry syrup.
  4. Top off the glass with chilled Prosecco.
  5. Optionally, garnish the cocktail with fresh blackberries and a sprig of basil before serving.
