Are you looking for the perfect punch recipe to impress your friends at your next gathering? Look no further than Blackberry Prosecco Punch.
This delicious concoction combines the sweetness of blackberries with the crisp bubbles of prosecco, making it the perfect refreshing drink for late spring and summer festivities.
I love combining fruit and herbs together.
Basil goes particularly well with berries and citrus (Lemon Basil Shortbread). Rosemary is another great herb with berries (Strawberry Rosemary Wine Slushies). The herbs add a touch of spice that accents the fruit flavors.
For a real depth of flavor to this punch add the floral liqueur or syrup if you have it. This recipe use elderflower, but rose would also be a nice choice. Or you can add a bit of blackberry or orange liqueurs. So many choices!
Non Alcoholic Sparkling Blackberry Basil Punch
If you want to make a family friendly option chose a flavored sparkling water such as blackberry or orange.
Add a splash of rose water or some alcohol free elderflower or other floral syrup for extra depth.
