Hugo Spritz

Description

The Hugo Spritz is a refreshing and low-alcohol cocktail that originated in the South Tyrol region of northern Italy in the early 2000s. Created by bartender Roland Gruber, it was designed as a lighter alternative to the classic Aperol Spritz.

The drink features elderflower syrup or liqueur, prosecco, soda water, fresh mint, and lime, resulting in a floral, citrusy, and bubbly cocktail that is perfect for warm-weather sipping. Its light sweetness and herbal freshness make it an elegant choice for aperitivo hour.
