The Hugo is a newcomer to the hall-of-fame of favourite Italian cocktails…and you don’t want to miss out on this cocktail! The Hugo was created in 2005 by a bartender in the province of South Tyrol in northern Italy. Swapping the Aperol with a good glug of Elderflower syrup, a garnish of lime and a sprig of mint, this Spritz-inspired drink is as refreshing and summery as it gets!
Ingredients:
1-2 tbsp Elderflower syrup
Prosecco, chilled
A splash of soda water
A couple mint leaves
Directions:
- Pour the Elderflower syrup and Prosecco over ice in a wine glass.
- Add a splash of soda water and give it a stir.
- Garnish with mint leaves and a wedge of lime.
