Hugo Cocktail (Italian Elderflower and Prosecco Spritz)
The Hugo Cocktail blends St Germain elderflower liqueur with fresh mint leaves, sparkling water, and prosecco to create a refreshing, floral spritz. Served over ice with a lime garnish, it’s a light, aromatic aperitivo balanced between sweetness and effervescence, typical of northern Italian style spritzes.
