A cocktail made with champagne is always well accepted, especially for women! So, in this recipe, we mix fresh Blueberries, Lemon juice, Aperol, and a touch of Blood Orange juice and finish it off with Brut Champagne to give it fizz!
Ingredients For Blueberry Champagne Cocktail
- Aperol Liqueur is an Italian bitter aperitif citrusy orange liquor with a light and refreshing flavor.
- Fresh Blueberries- Blueberries are a superfood that can help maintain healthy bones, lower blood pressure, control diabetes, and prevent heart disease.
- Fresh Squeeze Lemon Juice- The acidity of the lemon juice will balance the sweet flavor.
- Blood Orange Juice- The tart flavor of the blood orange will bring citrusy and reddish color that will give a bright color and vitamin C to the cocktail.
- Agave Syrup is optional- If you like slightly sweet cocktails, add a teaspoon of agave nectar to balance the acidity of the champagne and the citrus of the lemon juice.
- Dry Brut Champagne- The effervescence of the fine bubbles of the champagne will give a long finish to all the flavors of the cocktail.
