Wild Blueberry Lilac Cocktail
A sweet, floral Spring cocktail! No need to use expensive champagne for this. I buy an inexpensive champagne for this.

Ingredients
Wild Blueberry Lilac Cocktail
- 2 tbsps. lilac syrup (recipe here)
- 1 tbsp. wild blueberry juice (see below to make)
- 2-3 oz. chilled champagne (use an inexpensive brand)
- clean lilac blossoms (optional, but pretty)
Wild Blueberry Juice
- 2 cups frozen wild blueberries that have been thawed (regular frozen fine too)
Instructions
Make Wild Blueberry Juice
- Mash the thawed blueberries and put them in a sieve.
- Allow the juice to drain. Use a spoon to help push the juice through.
- Another way is to put mashed berries in triple-layered cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice.
- This should yield around 1/2 cup of juice.
- Compost the remaining pulp or use it for something else.
Make Cocktail (1 cocktail)
- Add lilac syrup and blueberry juice to a coupe glass.
- Top with 2-3 oz of champagne.
- Give the cocktail a bit of a stir and garnish with clean lilac blossoms if desired.
- Serve.
