Introduction

This Blackberry Mint Cocktail is a refreshing and vibrant drink perfect for any occasion. Combining the sweetness of blackberries and cherry soda with the crispness of Prosecco and fresh mint, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to make at home.

A clear glass with a diamond pattern holds a two-layered drink on a white marbled surface, placed on a round coaster with a white top and gold edge. The bottom layer is dark purple, and the top layer is bright red, slightly frothy. A lemon wedge, blackberry, and fresh green mint sprig are pierced together on a toothpick resting on the glass rim. Fresh mint leaves sit beside the coaster. In the blurred background, a dark bottle with an orange label and a red can are visible. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Brut Prosecco
  • ¼ cup 7UP® Cherry Soda
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • 6 leaves mint
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 4 blackberries (for garnish)
  • 4 sprigs mint (for garnish)
  • 1 lime, quartered (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Muddle together the blackberries, mint leaves, sugar, lime juice, and 7UP Cherry Soda in the bottom of a mixing glass until well combined and the sugar dissolves.
  2. Step 2: Divide about 2 tablespoons of the blackberry-mint muddle into each serving glass.
  3. Step 3: Add ice to each glass, then top with Brut Prosecco.
  4. Step 4: Gently stir the cocktail to combine ingredients without losing the bubbles.
  5. Step 5: Garnish each glass with a blackberry, sprig of mint, and a lime quarter on a toothpick for a beautiful presentation.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Substitute 7UP Cherry Soda with plain club soda or sparkling water for a less sweet version.
  • For a non-alcoholic option, replace Prosecco with additional cherry soda or sparkling water.
  • If you like a stronger mint flavor, lightly bruise the mint leaves before muddling to release more oils.

Storage

This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately to maintain the bubbles and fresh flavor. If you prepare the blackberry-mint muddle ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not mix with the Prosecco until ready to serve.

How to Serve

A clear glass with a diamond pattern holds a layered red to pink drink with ice, placed on a white plate resting on a dark cloth napkin with light edges, all on a white marbled surface. The drink has a deep red layer at the bottom and a lighter pink layer on top, garnished with a fresh green basil leaf and a dark blackberry on a small wooden skewer. In the background, a stream of clear liquid is being poured into another glass with similar contents and garnishes, blurred softly. Fresh green mint leaves lie to the right side, and a sprig of pine adds a touch of greenery to the left side of the scene. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh?

Yes, frozen blackberries can be used, but they may release more liquid and dilute the cocktail slightly. Thaw and drain excess juice before muddling.

What can I substitute for 7UP Cherry Soda?

You can use club soda, sparkling water, or another flavored soda if you prefer a different taste or less sweetness.
