Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 oz elderflower liqueur like St-Germain or Fiorente
  • 3 oz Prosecco or another sparkling white wine
  • 2 oz soda water
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Lime slices or wedges
  • Ice

Instructions
 

  • Add a couple of mint leaves and a slice of lime to the bottom of a large wine glass. Gently muddle.
  • Fill with ice.
  • Pour in the elderflower liqueur and Prosecco, then top with soda water.
  • Add a few mint leaves and a slice or wedge of lime. Gently stir to combine.

Notes

  • The classic Hugo ratio is 3-2-1: 3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts soda water, 1 part elderflower liqueur.
  • Muddle the mint gently. You just want to bruise the leaves, not shred them.
  • A large wine glass or goblet is the traditional serving glass. It lets the bubbles and aromas mingle.
  • Keep the Prosecco and soda water chilled before making the drink for the best results.
  • Try basil or thyme in place of mint for a different herby twist.
  • If you don't have lime, lemon works just as well.
