Instructions
Blackberry Syrup Recipe (Quick & Easy):
- Use this for lattes and cocktails!
You’ll need:
- cup fresh or frozen blackberries (150g)
- ½ – 1 cup sugar, depending on your sweetness preference (100–200g)
- cup water (240ml)
To make it:
- In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes. Gently mash the berries with a spoon to release their juices, then simmer for 5 more minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a jar, pressing out all the syrup. Let cool before using. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week!
How to Make a Blackberry Hugo Spritz:
- Muddle the MintIn a large wine glass or cocktail glass, gently muddle a few mint leaves with the blackberry syrup. Don’t go too hard—you just want to release the oils, not shred the leaves.
- Add the IceFill your glass about ¾ of the way with ice. Crushed or cubed both work!
- Build the SpritzPour in the elderflower liqueur, followed by the prosecco and soda water. Give it a gentle stir to mix everything while keeping the bubbles intact.
- Garnish & ServeTop with a fresh mint sprig and a slice or wedge of lime. If you’re feeling extra fancy, a few whole blackberries on a cocktail pick make it extra cute.
