    Directions

    Prep time: 10 minutes
    Cook time: 5 minutes
    Serves 4-6

    Ingredients:

    8-10 large fresh or frozen blackberries
    3 tablespoon fresh basil, torn
    ¼ cup honey, preferably local
    ¼ cup water
    4 oz. Elderflower liqueur (optional)
    1 750 ml bottle Prosecco, chilled

    Garnish: (optional)
    Fresh blackberries
    Sprigs of fresh basil

    Directions

    Directions:

    • 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, along with a drizzle of the blackberry simple 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.
