In the summertime I am very, very partial to having a refreshing drink to nicely finish off the day (one of my favourite drinks is this one). But this summer’s favourite is a Hugo, which I discovered in Berlin a few weeks ago. Sooo very good!
Now this is a very inexact recipe as it really depends on how sweet you like your drink – just have fun testing!
You will need (per glass):
Put some ice cubes in the bottom of a glass. Gently crush a few mint leaves and pour the prosecco and Perrier into a glass, add a slug of elderflower syrup, a a little bit of lemon juice. Finish off with a wedge of lemon, and one or two ice cubes and enjoy!

PS. Esther and I were making these in jam jars as we were camping last week. Turns out that Bonne Maman jam jars are an excellent size for a cocktail 😉

I’ll miss your Hugo making skills in the coming weeks! x
At the shop the other day I bought Aperol (to make one of my favourite summer drinks Aperol Spritz), then the shop keeper told me that I shouldtry Hugo, she described it as a Spritz, but with some kind of German liquor. Do you know of this? Elderflower cordial makes any drink driver friendly too, withouth the prosecco.
[…] However you enjoy or share this — diluted with water, in sparkling soda, or even to make poached pears, I am sure it will be delicious! And I might even treat myself and try Esther and Emilie’s yummy Hugo Champagne Spritzer. […]
