Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or to taste)
- 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled dry sparkling wine (Prosecco or Cava recommended)
- Water, if needed
Instructions
- If using fresh blueberries, gently muddle them in a small bowl. If using frozen, place them in a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water and heat gently until they soften slightly, then mash them with a fork.
- Press the mashed blueberries through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, collecting the juice and pulp. Discard the solids.
- Whisk the strained blueberry juice, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup together in a small pitcher. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- To serve, pour about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry-lemon mixture into the bottom of each champagne flute.
- Slowly top each flute with chilled sparkling wine.
- Garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a thin lemon wheel. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the sparkling wine with sparkling white grape juice or club soda.
- To make this a true ‘Mom-osa Bar’ feature, set out bowls of fresh blueberries, lemon slices, and extra simple syrup so guests can customize their drinks.
- If you prefer a stronger blueberry flavor, increase the blueberry juice mixture to 3 tablespoons per glass.
