Substitutions & Variations

As much as Calvin and I are head over heels for this Hugo cocktail recipe, you’re welcome to tweak it to fit your own preferences. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:

Berry Bliss: Add a handful of fresh berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries to your Hugo Spritz. Muddle them gently to release their juices before combining with the other ingredients. This variation adds a burst of fruity goodness to your drink, making it even more irresistible.
Ginger Zing: Infuse your Hugo drink with a hint of ginger by adding a splash of ginger syrup or using ginger beer instead of sparkling water. This variation adds a spicy kick to the refreshing drink, awakening your senses and creating a unique aperitif spritz that pairs beautifully with Asian-inspired dinners.
Minty Fresh Mocktail: For a non-alcoholic version of the Hugo Spritz, replace the prosecco with extra sparkling water and use elderflower juice or elderflower nectar in place of St. Germain. Keep all the other ingredients the same, and you'll have a delightful mocktail that everyone can enjoy!
Bubbly Rosé Twist: Swap the traditional prosecco with a sparkling rosé wine for a pretty-in-pink twist on the classic Hugo Spritz. The rosé adds a subtle blush hue and a touch of berry notes to the cocktail, making it even more visually appealing and elegant. Serve with a strawberry slice on the rim for an extra touch of sophistication.
