According to the tiktoker – @theeducatedbarfly, “it'”s a popular drink in Italy, every second of a cocktail if it isn’t Aperol spritz it’s Hugo spritz”. Hugo spritz has no bitterness, is crispy, and contains a lower alcohol volume, which makes it perfect for pre-dinner sips.

Ingredients:

Serves 2

2 Limes
Fresh Mints
1 ounce of elderflower liqueur
8 ounces of dry Prosecco or Cava
Fruit Seltzer, to top

How To:

  1. Pour the elderflower liqueur into a glass, pick a few fresh mint leaves into the bottom of the glass, and give it a light press to allow the mint leaves to release their flavour.
  2. Cut the limes into equal halves, not forgetting to set aside a thin slice of lime, then give the rest a few squeezes into the mixture in the glass, and add ice to fill the glass.
  3. Pour the Prosecco or Cava, then add a splash of fruit seltzer to the top and stir. Once you’ve achieved a good mix, take the thin slice of lime to make a lime wheel, and add more ice as needed.
  4. Enjoy!
