The Aperol Spritz needs no introduction! Bright orange, iced and refreshing, it's synonymous with dolce vita terrace evenings... Okay, this cocktail deserves its popularity, but its little cousin the Hugo Spritz has nothing to envy! 🍸✨
To describe this little-known drink, I'd call it a cross between a glass of bubbly and a good, extra-minty mojito! The elderflower liqueur adds a delicate floral flavor that's not too sweet and very well-balanced.
Hugo Spritz isn't on every restaurant menu, but it's so easy to make at home! Why not try it? 🥂
