We love an Aperol spritz every now and then here at Samson Brook South, but we have found something that will change your spritz game.
This refreshing spritz is perfect for a summer afternoon relaxing by the pool or ocean, escaping the heat of a Perth summer. Louisa first discovered this drink in her travels around Europe, looking for something refreshing that was not Aperol, when a gorgeous waiter recommend this to her.
A Hugo spritz is a sure fire way of beating the heat, with refreshing cucumber, elderflower and lime its are to transport you straight to the Italian coast. The light and bubbly cocktail features both Gin and Prosecco as its base, tweaking the traditional Aperol and Prosecco base for a spritz for a fun and fruity flavour.
Ingredients
small handful of mint leaves plus 1 mint sprig to garnish
20ml St Germain Elderflower Liquore
