Hugo Spritz
The Hugo Spritz is a refreshing cocktail that can be enjoyed any time of the year, but it's especially perfect on hot days. It's a bubbly Austrian spritz drink made with a little elderflower, lime, and mint.

Notes
How to make the drink more or less boozy:
When I made the Hugo cocktail, I used equal parts Prosecco and sparkling water. That way it was kinda boozy, but I didn't worry about having a couple in the afternoon. If you want to make it more boozy, use more Prosecco and less sparkling water. If you want to make it less boozy, use more sparkling water and less Prosecco.
Make a mocktail version:
To make it a Hugo mocktail, use all sparkling water and no Prosecco and be sure to use elderflower syrup instead of St. Germain liqueur.
