Servings: 6 cocktails 1x
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh lime juice (about 6–8 limes)
- 6 ounces fresh blackberries (about 1 ½ cups), plus more for garnish
- 24 mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon pure honey
- 1 (750 ml) bottle Prosecco
- Ice
- 6 slices fresh lime, for garnish
Instructions
- To a pint-sized jar or 2-cup measuring cup, combine the lime juice, blackberries, mint leaves, and honey. Using a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon, mash the lime juice, berries, and mint into a jam-like consistency.
- Pour the berry mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a large pitcher to remove the seeds and mint leaves. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture firmly to release all of the juices, then discard the berry mixture left behind in the strainer.
- Add the Prosecco to the berry juice in the pitcher; stir gently to settle any foam that arises. Add 3-4 cups ice to the pitcher and stir again. Serve pitcher-style or divide cocktails among 6 tall glasses filled with ice. Garnish each cocktail with a few blackberries, a slice of lime, and a few mint leaves. Serve immediately.
Notes
Make ahead: You can complete Steps 1 and 2 (making the berry-lime simple syrup) up to two days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Prosecco is a light bodied, crisp, sparkling white wine. Use any brand that you like.
