Blueberry Basil Syrup

Infuse with Basil

Add 10 fresh basil leaves to the blueberry syrup. Let it cool for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Remove and discard the basil leaves.

Blend and Strain

Pour the blueberry basil syrup into a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds. Discard the solids.

Add Bellini Sparkle

Return the strained syrup to the saucepan. Add 1 cup of chilled prosecco and stir until well combined. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, you can substitute sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.

Freeze and Enjoy!
