Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 large fresh or frozen blackberries

  • 3 Tablespoon fresh basil torn

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup water

  • 4 oz. Elderflower liqueur optional

  • 1 750 ml bottle Prosecco chilled

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Remove from heat and strain mixture through a fine-mesh strainer to remove solids. Reserve the remaining liquid and set it aside to cool.
  • If using, divide the Elderflower liqueur among four champagne flutes.
  • Add a drizzle of the blackberry basil 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.
