Calories 211 kcal
- 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
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.
