FAQ
What can be substituted for non-alcoholic prosecco?
Sparkling grape juice can be used, though it’s best to use half the amount and balance with remaining sparkling water as sparkling grape juice is generally much sweeter than non-alcoholic prosecco.
Are there substitutes for elderflower tonic?
Non-alcoholic elderflower cordial, syrup or liqueur can be used. It’s best to double-check the label to ensure it is non-alcoholic. For these, start with 1 oz. and increase for more sweetness and flavor if desired.
What glass is this traditionally served in?
A large, stemmed, wide-bowled wine glass is ideal to accommodate ice, bubbles and garnishes. This type of glass enhances the floral aroma of the elderflower and helps keep it chilled.
The Hugo Spritz was invented in 2005 near the Italian-Austrian border. Its popularity initially spread quickly from the Italian town to neighboring countries of Austria and Germany. Today in the United States, it’s becoming a more common bar offering and popular, refreshing summer spritz.
The signature flavors include mint, citrus and elderflower, which is fresh, fruity and slightly floral. This mocktail version leans on elderflower tonic for fizz and a bitterness that alcohol generally brings to cocktails.
