It’s so fun to celebrate the new year in, and what’s more celebratory than a sparkly drink? Even if your idea of celebrating is staying home in your pjs with takeout and Netflix, you’ll love this drink. 😉 Whether in or out, alcohol or no alcohol this Blackberry Cocktail is the drink for you.
The Blackberry Sparkler is made with fresh blackberries, and you can make one batch of the blackberry puree and then make both an alcoholic or a non-alcoholic version, depending you or your guests preferences.
My kids loved the non-alcoholic mocktail version, and I’m pretty sure they’ll be asking for it for the next few weeks. The Blackberry cocktail version with alcohol is such a great adult version too.
