HUGO

As most of you know, there are thousands of Spritz variants.
Every time you try your hand in the world of mixology, you find yourself face-to-face with dozens of experiments: syrup additions, cordials, fresh fruit... the important thing is to keep these 3 main ingredients: ice, prosecco and soda.
You should know that Elderflower liqueur is a very recent product, launched in 2007 under the name of "St-Germain", although it is said to be an invention attributable to the Dutch.
From this product's boom on the global market we can show you what is actually the best-known and most appreciated cocktail based on Elderflower liqueur today: the Hugo Spritz!
