Ingredients

1/2 pint (1 cup) blackberries 

6 ounces (3/4 cup) sweet red vermouth, preferably Cinzano Rosso 

2 tablespoons superfine sugar 

1 bottle (750 milliliters) Prosecco, chilled 

Preparation

Gently stir together blackberries, vermouth, and sugar in a bowl. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until blackberries release juices and sugar dissolves, about 1 hour.

Spoon 2 tablespoons of the blackberry juice and 4 blackberries into each of 6 Champagne flutes. Top each with Prosecco.
