Tips & Variations

FAQs

Can I prepare the blackberry-mint muddle in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the muddle a few hours ahead and keep it refrigerated, but it’s best to add the Prosecco and soda right before serving to preserve the bubbles and freshness.

What can I use instead of 7UP® Cherry Soda?

You can substitute with any lemon-lime soda or flavored sparkling water to suit your taste, though this will slightly change the flavor profile of the cocktail.
