I served a hugo spritz recipe at a family function, and it was a great hit! After that, I make it whenever I get prosecco, fresh mint, and elderflower syrup.

The main purpose of a Hugo Spritz is enjoyment, but its ingredients may also provide some health benefits:
Prosecco contains antioxidants that protect cells from damage; Prosecco also reduces the risk of health diseases.
Elderflowers are high in antioxidants and traditionally used to lower inflammation. Elderflower’s vitamin C content may contribute to a more robust immune system.
Mint can relieve digestive issues like indigestion and bloating and may also enhance memory and focus.
Lime contains Vitamin C, which is essential for the immune system, and also contains antioxidants.
Fill a glass with ice cubes.
Add 1 oz (30 ml) of gin and 1 tsp of agave nectar to the glass.
Pour in 1 oz (30 ml) of elderflower syrup.
Add 2–3 fresh mint leaves and 1–2 lime slices.
Top off with 4 oz (120 ml) Prosecco and 2 oz (60 ml) soda water.
Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
Garnish with fresh berries.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
The alcohol level in a Hugo Spritz can differ based on the brands chosen, but it is typically regarded as a cocktail with low to moderate strength.
Hugo Spritz is ideal for various events but exceptionally revitalizing on a hot day. It’s commonly savored as an aperitif before a meal or as a light, refreshing beverage in the summer.
Absolutely, you can create a non-alcoholic alternative by replacing the Prosecco with a non-alcoholic sparkling wine or sparkling water.
Serve this Hugo spritz in a stemless wine glass on a sunny patio or in the garden. Garnish with a mint sprig and fresh berries. Pair it with light snacks like crab brulee or carne frita.
Muddle the mint leaves and lime slices before adding them to the glass to release their oils and boost the drink’s freshness.
Its a great thing for me
