Hugo Spritz

Light, refreshing and effortlessly elegant, the Hugo Spritz has become a warm-weather staple. Wondering what’s in a Hugo Spritz? The classic recipe combines St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Prosecco, a splash of soda water, fresh mint and lime.

On the palate, it’s delicately floral with subtle notes of pear and citrus, lifted by fine bubbles and a clean, lightly herbaceous finish. The result is crisp and balanced, with just enough sweetness to feel refreshing rather than rich. Refreshing, bright and balanced, using St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur elevates this summer spritz.

Perfect as an aperitif, the Hugo Spritz is easy to prepare and even easier to enjoy — whether served at a casual gathering or a relaxed afternoon outdoors. It’s a cocktail that balances gentle florals with bright citrus and crisp bubbles.
