The Hugo cocktail is a fizzy delight, hailing all the way from Italy.
Packed with flavors of elderflower cordial, lime, and mint, it’s zesty with a slightly sweet undertone. It’s a sparkler, with prosecco and soda water giving it a bubbly, uplifting vibe.
The Hugo Cocktail is a modern classic, originating from the Italian Alps. Its creation was quite recent, around the late 2000s, and it quickly grew popular both in Italy and all around Europe due to its light and floral notes.
A Mojito and a Hugo are both light and zesty cocktails but they do differ in their key ingredients. While Mojito is known for its rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and mint leaves, a Hugo cocktail swaps rum for prosecco, sugar for elderflower cordial, and adds a unique citrusy touch with the lime cordial. Basically, if you are a fan of elderflower and wine, Hugo is the drink for you, buddy!
