Whats not to love when you can combine an herb that is anti-bacterial and a great source of Vitamin A, a fruit that is full of antioxidants, Vitamin C and fiber and some prosecco to top it all off? I’m really not sure. I love when cocktails can be construed as health drinks. Next up? Kombucha cocktail. Oh yes.
Blueberry and basil may be an odd-sounding combo to some, but I’m a fan and I’ve also been thinking about this drink since I spotted it on a menu board in Denver. I figured a trip to Arizona would be the perfect opportunity to try it out – complete with a pool, sun, flowy dresses and flip flops.
Try it out, or mix it up with different herb/fruit combinations, mint & melon anyone?
Blueberry & Basil Prosecco – 1 serving
- 1 Tbsp blueberries (organic if possible)
- 1 Tbsp basil, minced
- 6 oz chilled prosecco
Combine basil and blueberries. Muddle together. (We didn’t have a muddler) Pour in prosecco and savor each sip. My favorite part? Eating the blueberries and basil!

mmm this looks refreshing! You girls looks so cute!
Yum! I’m all about making alcohol healthy 😉
Have a great weekend!
yuum!
Yes, it was delish and very refreshing! 🙂
I can guarantee I will be drinking these on the patio this summer!
You and your friends are gorgeous.
I’ve seen basil in martinis and margaritas but just can’t get into it. Now Kombucha cocktails I have tried. (Kombucha and prosecco are really good together. )
You are so sweet! I was originally thinking of doing more of a martini with kombucha, but prosecco is a great idea! Thank you!

You girls look so cute! 🙂 Super fun drink!
kombucha cocktail sounds divine!
what is prosecco? and what is a muddler? What did the tasters think?
Do you think 50-somethings would like this drink?
You three do look cute!
I think 50-somethings would love it! Prosecco is similar to champagne – a sparkling white wine. Very delish!
I love this cocktail and it will be a new addition to my Coking with Herbs and Flowers class at Bekah Kate’s this summer
that would be Cooking with Herbs and Flowers! 🙂
Heck yeah, you can justify a drink like that! I see nothing but healthy in that glass! YUM! Enjoy your evening!
oooh can’t wait to see your kombucha cocktail! i have a bottle in my fridge now.
Okay, I’m slightly embarrassed to say I just had to google processo to be sure of what it was haha. This looks so refreshing, I would love to serve this at a dinner party! This goes perfectly with sundresses and flip flops 🙂
Oh gosh, don’t be embarrassed! It is basically like champagne, but for some reason I like it more than champagne!
oooo! yummy! i am curious about the kombucha cocktail 🙂
Yum! This looks wonderful! My mom would love it – she is crazy about blueberries and loves prossecco. I might make these for her for mother’s day.

I am loving your health-infused cocktails! And blueberry? Blueberry season is getting ready to hit around here and I can hardly wait to get to the u-pick farms! Cute photo!
Hi I had seen this recipe in some magazine, forgot which one so when I googled it you came up! I just got back from the grocery store with the blueberries and basil and can’t wait to “savor every sip”. Nice to meet a fellow blogger this way.
Happy Saturday evening.
