Notes
Store fresh blueberries in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until sugar dissolves, then cool before using.
For a non-alcoholic version, replace rum with club soda and prosecco with sparkling apple juice.
The cocktail can be made up to 2 hours ahead - just add the sparkling wine right before serving.
