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.
