Hugo Spritz
Made this one? Leave a rating below.
St-Germain, prosecco, and fresh mint come together in a light, floral spritz with just enough lime to keep it bright. Effortless to make and impossible not to love.
This cocktail is part of our Date Nite collection, made to be sipped while you cook together.
COCKTAIL RECIPE
Makes 1 cocktail
2 oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur
3 oz prosecco

Squeeze of fresh lime
Fill a wine glass or large coupe with ice and add the St-Germain. Top with prosecco and soda water, add a squeeze of fresh lime, and stir gently to combine. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wheel.
NOTES FROM THE BAR
Heads up: We may earn a small commission on products we’ve linked here. We only recommend the real-deal favorites from our kitchen.
ST-GERMAIN IS THE STAR
This is not a drink to swap out the elderflower liqueur — St-Germain is what gives the Hugo its signature floral, lychee-like quality. Other elderflower cordials won't deliver the same depth. Worth having a bottle on hand.
PROSECCO OVER CHAMPAGNE
Hugo Spritz is traditionally made with prosecco, and for good reason — its softer bubbles and slightly fruity profile are a better match for the elderflower than drier sparkling wines. Don't overthink the bottle; a mid-range prosecco works great here.
SQUEEZE, DON'T POUR
The lime is a background note, not a citrus-forward element — you want a single squeeze, not a full ounce of juice. It brightens the drink without pulling it in a tart direction.
BUILD IN THE GLASS
No shaker needed. This one is built directly over ice, which keeps the prosecco from going flat and the whole thing feeling effortless.

A RITUAL WE RETURN TO
Our cocktails are part of something bigger for us. They’re the beginning of Date Nite, a connection-centered experience we created to help you slow down, share a meal, and enjoy time with the one you love.
Each Date Nite is thoughtfully planned for you, so you are not stuck deciding what to cook or how to pull the night together. We pair one cocktail with a complete menu, a simple flow from prep to plate, and small details that make the evening feel easy and connected from start to finish.
It is not about perfection. It is about presence, and creating space to reconnect, whether that is with your partner or simply with yourself, over a really good meal.
