Blueberry Prosecco Cocktail

Lets talk about cocktails this Tuesday morning, shall we?  I love a good cocktail, but can only usually have 1 at a time.  I'm such a lightweight when it comes to anything but wine, so I decided to create something a little more fun for when I wanted a cocktail or two... that's where the Blueberry Prosecco cocktail was born!  It's super easy to make, pretty and a tad fruity.


We had just picked up a huge container of blueberries so I decided to combine a little sugar and water to my blueberries and cook them on medium heat to create a semi-sweet blueberry puree.  I let it cool, then added some to the bottom of my champagne flute and added some deliciously bubbly prosecco to the glass.

These cocktails are perfect for sipping on during a warm day or for serving when company comes over, the bits of blueberries floating around the glass are so pretty!



Ingredients
  • 1 bottle of prosecco
  • handful of blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoons water
Instructions
  1. Combine the strawberries, sugar and water in a medium saucepan
  2. Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes until blueberries have broken down, so that it looks like a puree - I mashed mine up a bit at the end
  3. Remove from heat and cool
  4. Place a spoonful of blueberry puree in the bottom of each fluted glass
  5. Fill each glass with prosecco
Enjoy!
