The Hugo Spritz, a popular alcoholic aperitif, has its origins in South Tyrol and is now widely consumed in Triveneto, Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. This refreshing beverage is made from a combination of prosecco, elderflower syrup (or lemon balm syrup), seltzer (or sparkling water), and mint leaves.

Many are calling it the drink of the summer! The increasing popularity of this beverage can be attributed to our collective love for prosecco. It is an exceptionally refreshing drink, making it the perfect choice for a hot summer’s day! Plus, the Hugo Spritz is really easy to make!
