About the Hugo Spritz Slush
Bartender Roland Gruber created the Hugo in South Tyrol, northern Italy, in 2005, first with lemon balm syrup; elderflower took over as the drink spread across the Alps.
Missing something?
- No Prosecco? Use Champagne (Drier and toastier)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lime (Squeeze fresh: 1 lime gives about 25 ml)
- No Lime Juice? Use Lemon Juice (Softer, different aroma)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Sugar (1 tsp sugar is about 7.5 ml syrup; stir until dissolved)
- No Simple Syrup? Use Honey Syrup (Adds honey flavour)
