I was introduced to this cocktail a few years ago while on vacation and it's probably one of the best cocktails I've had. Fresh Mint, Bubbly Prosecco and effervescent soda water making this the best summer cocktail: Hugo Spritz!
2 ozElderflower LiqueurSt Germaine, Drillaud and St Elder are great options.
1ozClub Soda, Mineral or Seltzer WaterSchweppes or Topo Chico
Instructions
Muddle lightly the mint leaves to release the oils that gives the spritz that refreshing flavor.
Add the Elderflower liqueur.
Add the Prosecco or any other sparkling wine.
Top with club soda or seltzer water.
Add a lemon wheel and with a bar spoon stir gently.
Garnish with more lemon wheels and mint.
Notes
Pro-Tip: Another way to release the oil, grab a few mint leaves, placed them between your hands and give them a good slap. This is an alternate way to the muddling.
