Lemon Berry Prosecco Cocktail Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

Meyer lemon juice: Adds fresh, tart citrus flavor with a subtle sweetness. This variety isn’t as sharp or bitter as other kinds of lemon. Meyer lemons are a little sweeter, a bit like a mixture of lemon and orange actually. If you prefer to use another kind of lemon though, you absolutely can.
Granulated sugar: Sweetens the syrup and balances the acidity.
Seedless blackberry jam: Deepens the berry flavor and gives the syrup body.
Meyer lemon blackberry syrup: The flavorful base that ties the cocktail together.
Vanilla vodka: Adds warmth and smoothness with a hint of vanilla.
Prosecco: Brings bubbles, brightness and balance.
Blackberries: Float for a dramatic effect and gentle infusion.
Lemon wedge: Used to prep the rim with gold accents.
Edible gold stars or sanding sugar: Adds a sparkling, decorative finish.

How to Store Lemon Prosecco Cocktail

Store: The syrup will keep for a week in the refrigerator in a sealed container. As for the cocktails, once made they don’t really last because they will lose their fizz in a matter of hours.
Freeze: I don’t recommend freezing this recipe.

Lemon Berry Prosecco Cocktail

This cocktail is fruity, fizzy and beautiful. Meyer lemon and blackberry make a fresh and sweet syrup, while the prosecco adds bubbles and brightness. A showstopper in every glass.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients 

For the Lemon Blackberry Syrup (Makes Enough for 8 Drinks) 

  • 1/2 Cup lemon juice, Meyer, freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 Cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons jam, seedless blackberry

For the Cocktails

  • 1 Ounce Meyer lemon blackberry syrup
  • 1 Ounce vodka, vanilla
  • 4 Ounces prosecco, chilled
  • blackberries, fresh or frozen
  • edible gold confetti stars or gold sanding sugar
  • lemon wedges

Instructions 

Make the Syrup

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, add freshly squeezed lemon juice and granulated sugar. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
  • Add blackberry jam and, whisk again, until blackberry is completely incorporated, and no clumps are left in the pan. Don't allow the mixture to boil. It just needs to be warm enough to dissolve the ingredients. Store prepared syrup in a sealable jar or bottle in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Allow it to cool down to at least room temperature before using – about 10 minutes in the freezer or about 25 minutes in the refrigerator.

Assemble the Cocktails

  • Lightly run a lemon wedge around the rim of a champagne flute. Be careful you don’t wet the rim too much as the edible confetti is meant to start breaking down when it gets wet. Dip the wetted rim into the edible gold stars to make them stick. 
  • Pour Meyer lemon blackberry jam syrup into the bottom of the rimmed champagne coupe. Add the vanilla vodka to the glass by pouring it down the sidewall of the glass. This makes it less likely to mix-in with the syrup, creating a layered effect. 
  • Repeat this step with your chilled prosecco, leaving enough room to top with your blackberries. 
  • Add fresh or frozen blackberries to each glass. They will rise and fall due to the carbonation and, as the drinks sit, the blackberries will begin to slightly mix the drink, creating a pink-to-berry-red ombre effect.
  • Optional: Serve the cocktails with decorative swizzle sticks if you’d like to give your guests the option to mix in the lemon-blackberry syrup before drinking. 

Notes

Chill everything: Keep prosecco and syrup cold for best fizz and flavor.
Pour slowly: Pouring vodka and prosecco gently helps keep the layered effect.
Prep the syrup ahead: Store in a jar in the fridge for up to a week to save time.
