It’s hard to believe it’s already mid-August. Some of you are sending your kids back to school, people are already thinking about their fall menus and indulging in all the apple and pumpkin recipes. Well I declare summer is officially still going on. It’s still super hot here in Southern California and the sun is still setting late into the evenings. I am trying to enjoy every last minute of it.

One of my favorite foods to enjoy during the summer is berries! I just love walking into the store and seeing $.99 containers of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries! I always pick up a few containers and throw the leftovers in the freezer for smoothies. Recently Naturipe invited me to participate in the #EatTheRainbow challenge. I was asked to create a drink recipe featuring blueberries. Well, you don’t have to ask me twice!  I’ve been chomping at the bit to share this drink with you because it is my very first cocktail recipe! Plus, you know I did plenty of testing for this recipe, wink wink.

This Blueberry Peach Spritzer features an easy, homemade blueberry syrup with peach juice and prosecco.

Let me tell you a bit more about my Blueberry Peach Spritzer. First I prepared a simple and fresh blueberry syrup which I combined with peach juice concentrate and topped it off with Prosecco. Now if you are looking for a virgin drink, this also works great with a little bit of seltzer as well. I garnished this drink with a blueberry stirrer and a pinch of fresh rosemary. You will be so surprised what a difference the rosemary makes!

The blueberry syrup is created by heating blueberries together with sugar and water. Once the juices start bubbling, give them a good smashing. For this next step, I used my immersion blender to get the syrup nice and smooth, but a food processor works great as well. You want to blend it all together to get the most of out the berries. Finally, I strained this with a fine sieve to get out any remaining larger pieces. If the syrup ever becomes too thick to pour, simply add water one teaspoon at a time and mix into the syrup.

The great thing about this blueberry syrup is that it makes a large enough portion to enjoy a few cocktails, and it can be kept in the refrigerator to be enjoyed a day or two later!

I found the peach juice concentrate at Trader Joe’s in my town, but if you don’t happen to have one in your area, you can search the web for peach juice. You will see there are lots of brands out there that offer it. The best part about this cocktail is that it is totally customizable! It would be great with orange juice, or pineapple juice or even a blend of juices!

Boozy Peach Blueberry Spritzers.

As I mentioned in previous posts, I discovered Prosecco this year and I just can’t stop drinking it! Well sometimes a whole bottle is too much, so I buy mini 4-pack bottles of champagne (I like Korbel) and use those for my cocktails instead. They are great to have on hand. Also, as stated above, this can also be enjoyed as a virgin mocktail with seltzer water. I tried it with a plain seltzer, but feel free to try with a flavored seltzer as well!

To create the simple garnish, grab a long toothpick and put some berries on it then drop in a small stem of fresh rosemary. Your creative cocktails will totally impress your friends, and they will be even more impressed that it has fresh blueberry syrup that you made yourself!

This Blueberry Peach Spritzer is the best summer cocktail!! First I prepared a simple, fresh blueberry syrup which is combined with peach juice concentrate and topped off with prosecco. Now if you are looking for a virgin drink, this also works great with a little bit of seltzer as well.
