Equipment

• Cocktail shaker — I use this to mix the ingredients well before adding Prosecco.
• Fine mesh strainer — This helps remove blueberry skins and thyme leaves from the drink.
• Muddler — I use a muddler to crush the blueberries and thyme to release their flavors.
• Jigger or measuring spoons — These are important to get the right amount of each ingredient.
• Bar spoon — Useful for gentle stirring after adding the Prosecco.
• Champagne flute or wine glass — I serve the cocktail in these for a nice presentation.

Ingredients

• 3 ounces Prosecco — Any dry or extra dry Prosecco works well for this cocktail.
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup — I like to use homemade but store-bought also works.
• 1/2 ounce fresh lemon juice — Bottled juice doesn’t taste as fresh so I squeeze my own lemons.
• 1/4 cup fresh blueberries — Washed and picked over to remove stems.
• 2-3 sprigs of fresh thyme — Washed and patted dry.
• Ice cubes — For shaking and chilling the drink.
• Extra blueberries and thyme sprigs — These are for garnishing the finished cocktail.

Instructions

• Add blueberries, thyme sprigs, simple syrup, and lemon juice to a cocktail shaker.
• Muddle the mixture until the blueberries are broken up and the thyme is fragrant.
• Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
• Shake well for 10-15 seconds to chill the mixture.
• Strain the mix into a champagne flute or wine glass using a fine mesh strainer.
• Slowly pour in the Prosecco and stir gently with a bar spoon to combine.
• Garnish the cocktail with extra blueberries and a sprig of thyme.

Notes

Fresh blueberries make the drink taste brighter, at least in my experience. If I don’t have Prosecco, I’ll sometimes just use another sparkling wine.

It’s best to muddle the thyme gently, since it can get bitter if you go overboard. I usually chill the Prosecco ahead of time so everything stays nice and cold.

The amount of simple syrup can be tweaked for sweetness. When I want more tartness, I go lighter on syrup and heavier on lemon juice. Extra blueberries floating on top look great, and my guests seem to like that, too.

Tasting Notes

When I taste this Prosecco with blueberry and thyme cocktail, I first notice the subtle sweetness from the blueberries. The fruit blends well with the light, crisp bubbles of the Prosecco.

The thyme brings a gentle herbal note that balances the drink. Aroma:

• Fresh blueberries
• Hints of citrus
• Light herbal touch from thyme

The flavor is both refreshing and delicate. I find that each sip brings a mix of berry sweetness and floral notes.

The Prosecco’s fizz lifts the flavors, making the cocktail feel lively. Texture:

• Effervescent from the Prosecco
• Slightly juicy from the muddled blueberries
• Clean finish thanks to the herbs

The aftertaste is mild. There’s a lingering hint of thyme that never really takes over.

I notice the drink isn’t too sweet or too tart. Flavor Highlights:

• Mild and fruity
• Light herbal finish
• Balanced level of sweetness

This cocktail is best enjoyed cold. The flavors really come through when it’s freshly made.

The blueberries give it a gentle color and flavor, while the thyme mostly stays in the background.

Substitute

Sometimes, I just don’t have all the original ingredients on hand. Here are a few easy ways I’ve found to swap things out for this cocktail.

Substitute Ingredients

• Prosecco:
  • If Prosecco’s missing, I’ll grab sparkling wine, Cava, or even Champagne. Whatever’s hanging out in the fridge.
  • For a mocktail, non-alcoholic sparkling water gets the job done.
• Blueberries:
  • Honestly, I’ll toss in raspberries, blackberries, or sliced strawberries. They all work and taste great.
• Thyme:
  • Mint, rosemary, or basil all bring their own twist. I just pick whatever herb I’m feeling that day.

Substitute Equipment

• Muddler:
  • No muddler? The back of a spoon does the trick for me.
• Cocktail shaker:
  • I’ll use a jar with a tight lid, or sometimes I just stir everything right in the glass. Less cleanup, honestly.

Substitute Instructions

• If I’m swapping berries, I muddle them the same way as blueberries. No rocket science here.
• For a non-alcoholic version, I just pour in sparkling water instead of Prosecco. Super simple.
• Switching herbs? I add them the same way I would with thyme. No need to overthink it.
• I usually mix, taste, and then tweak the sweetness or flavors if something feels off. Go by what you like.
