Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Muddler
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Champagne flute

Ingredients

For one cocktail:

  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 oz 30 ml simple syrup
  • 1/2 oz 15 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 4 oz 120 ml chilled sparkling wine
  • Blueberries and lemon twist for garnish

Use ripe, sweet blueberries for the best flavor. You can make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water until dissolved.

Instructions

  • Put blueberries and simple syrup in the shaker. Muddle until berries are crushed.
  • Add lemon juice and ice. Shake for 10-15 seconds.
  • Strain into a chilled champagne flute.
  • Top slowly with sparkling wine. Stir gently.
  • Garnish with a few blueberries and a lemon twist.
  • Serve right away while the drink is cold and bubbly.

The mix of fresh fruit and sparkling wine makes for a light, fun cocktail.

    Notes

    You can make a non-alcoholic version by using sparkling water instead of wine. For a stronger drink, add 1 oz of vodka before shaking.
    Make sure all ingredients are well-chilled before mixing. This helps keep the drink cold without watering it down.
    You can prep the blueberry mixture ahead of time. Store it in the fridge and add the sparkling wine just before serving.
    Try other berries like raspberries or blackberries for different flavors. Frozen berries work too, but let them thaw first for the best taste.
