Adding a fruit syrup or liqueur is a fun way to dress up a glass of Prosecco or other sparkling wine. In this recipe, I am using blackberry and sage syrup, and sweeten it with honey. The combination adds a delicious fruity and earthy flavor as well as a beautiful color to the sparkling wine. Blackberry Sage Prosecco is a festive and perfect drink to serve before or after a meal.
