Blueberry Basil Spritz

I’m sure you’ve picked up on it by now but spritz’s are my favorite cocktails. Pretty much anything combined with Prosecco is my go to drink and while I could drink an Aperol Spritz every day I’m trying to switch it up for you guys.

The combination of blueberry and basil is so refreshing and slightly sweet it goes perfectly with the bitterness of aperol. You could really do this with any fruit but a dark berry is definitely the best.

Recipe: Serves 4

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp blueberry preserves

6 basil leaves

1/2 cup aperol

1 bottle of prosecco

To make:

Add blueberry preserves and basil to a cocktail shaker and muddle basil leaves to extract oils. Add aperol and shake to combine.

Fill 4 glasses with ice and evenly pour the blueberry mixture into the glasses.

Top with Prosecco and enjoy!
