“There is something about the combination of berries, elderflower, and Champagne that screams summer to me. This has a great balanced taste and is easy to mix up in large pitchers for an afternoon BBQ.”

Ingredients

2 dozen blackberries (about 1 cup)
9 oz. St. Germain elderflower liqueur
Lime juice from 3 whole limes
8 oz. Champagne
6 sprigs of mint

Instructions

Add blackberries to a pitcher, and crush with a muddler or immersion blender. Add St. Germain and lime juice, followed by crushed ice. Top with Champagne, garnish with mint sprigs. Stir just before pouring and serve in fluted glasses. (Published 2010)
