What is Hugo Spritz?
Hugo Spritz is a sparkling cocktail that originated in South Tyrol, northern Italy. It combines prosecco with elderflower syrup or liqueur, soda water, fresh mint and lime. The result is floral and lightly sweet, with citrus tang and a refreshing herbal note from the mint.
It is usually served very cold over ice as an aperitif, often alongside small savoury bites; it has also become a familiar summer choice in bars internationally. It contains alcohol as well as carbohydrates from the elderflower ingredient, and provides about 72 calories per 100 g. For a less sweet, lighter-tasting version, use less syrup and top it up with extra soda water.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hugo Spritz
How do you make a Hugo Spritz?
A Hugo Spritz is made with prosecco, elderflower syrup or liqueur, soda water, fresh mint and lime. Add the ingredients to a glass filled with ice, pouring in the soda last and stirring gently to preserve the fizz.
What does a Hugo Spritz taste like?
A Hugo Spritz tastes light, bubbly and floral, with elderflower sweetness balanced by lime and fresh mint. Prosecco gives it a dry, fruity edge; using elderflower syrup instead of liqueur can make the drink sweeter.
What is the difference between a Hugo Spritz and an Aperol Spritz?
A Hugo Spritz gets its floral, minty character from elderflower and lime, while an Aperol Spritz is defined by Aperol’s bittersweet orange flavor. Both are commonly made with prosecco and soda water.
Is a Hugo Spritz strong?
A Hugo Spritz is usually a relatively light-tasting cocktail, but it contains alcohol when made with prosecco and may contain more if elderflower liqueur is used. Its actual strength varies with the recipe and pour.
Can you make a Hugo Spritz without prosecco?
Yes. Replace the prosecco in a Hugo Spritz with non-alcoholic sparkling wine or another bubbly drink. Since alternatives vary in sweetness, taste the mixture before adding the full amount of elderflower syrup.
Can you make a non-alcoholic Hugo Spritz?
Yes. For a non-alcoholic Hugo Spritz, use alcohol-free sparkling wine or sparkling water instead of prosecco, and elderflower syrup instead of liqueur. Mint and lime keep the drink fresh and aromatic.
Should you use elderflower syrup or liqueur in a Hugo Spritz?
Either works in a Hugo Spritz. Elderflower syrup adds sweetness without alcohol, while elderflower liqueur contributes its own alcohol and a more pronounced elderflower flavor; adjust the amount to suit the prosecco.
Where did the Hugo Spritz originate?
The Hugo Spritz originated in South Tyrol, in northern Italy. It became popular across Italy and beyond as a floral alternative to the better-known Aperol Spritz.
What glass should you serve a Hugo Spritz in?
Serve a Hugo Spritz in a large wine glass filled with ice. The wide bowl leaves room for the mint and lime garnish, while a gentle stir just before drinking helps release their aroma.
Can you make a Hugo Spritz ahead of time?
It is best to mix a Hugo Spritz just before serving. Prosecco and soda lose their bubbles over time, and melting ice dilutes the drink; you can chill the ingredients and prepare the garnishes in advance.
