Hugo Spritz
This recipe is one of many for this floral spritz and some may prefer to follow the standard 3:2:1 Spritz formula with 60ml prosecco, 40ml elderflower...

Just had one made the original way with lemon balm syrup - our local is a fancy country place that grows a lot of its own produce. Including lemon balm, and syrup or cordial is easy to make. No gin as this was a summer lunchtime offering. Very nice as a garden cooler.

Isn't this often made with the addition of Gin as well? Makes it a little more dry and boozy.

On the sweet side, but the floral notes help cut it a bit. Very nice.

i concur, i'd use a bit less elderflower liqueur. otherwise this is a great jazz-up for some mediocre kirkland champagne. i love it.

Crowd pleaser, mild and perfect for a hot sunny afternoon.

Also named St-Germain Spritz.
From Stgermain.fr website the ratio is :
40 ml St-Germain
60 ml Prosecco or Champagne
60 ml soda water

Not quite
The signature Spritz uses more elderflower liquor and lemon peel instead of mint. Result is actually different.

Light and refreshing! I substituted a slice of cucumber for the lime

This drink is also getting very famous in France and Belgium. Sweet, can be "switched", I mean you can use, prosecco, champagne; sparkling wine.... Elderflower syrup to make it less alcoholic, I am pretty sure you can make it virgin with alcohol free champagne. For the taste; not sure it would be worth it

This is indeed popular all over Switzerland, when I arrived here in 2012 I had no idea. Have had a lot of them since then, nice in the few months of warm weather we have here on a nice terrace :P We just had one here in Ticino, though the terrace is still freezing haha.
