Blueberry Bellini
This gorgeous Blueberry Ginger Bellini uses blueberries & blueberry juice paired with fresh ginger to make a refreshing non-alcoholic or boozy cocktail.
Servings: 2 drinks
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated (the smaller the mince, the more intense the ginger flavor)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice usually about half of a large lemon
- 1 cup unsweetened blueberry juice chilled (I find it at Trader Joe's)
- 1 cup Prosecco or substitute sparkling apple juice, chilled
Instructions
- Mash 1/2 cup blueberries with 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Allow the flavors to blend for at least five minutes (longer is even better), then press through a fine mesh sieve to discard the solids.
- Divide the mixture between two champagne flutes. Top with even amounts of 1 cup unsweetened blueberry juice, then top with even amounts of 1 cup Prosecco.
Notes
Makes two cocktails.
Recipe can be scaled to make pitcher cocktails to serve a crowd.
If making ahead, do not add the Prosecco until ready to serve.
