The Best batch hugo spritz recipe
I’ve been making this batch Hugo spritz recipe for years, and it’s always a hit with my family. The dish originates from Italy, where it’s known as ‘Aperol Spritz’ – a refreshing drink made with Aperol, Prosecco, soda water, and a splash of orange bitters.
Over time, I’ve adapted the recipe to use Hugo instead of Aperol, which gives it a slightly sweeter flavor. My kids love it because it’s like a special treat that feels fancy but is actually super easy to make.
As an added bonus, this recipe is also quite healthy considering how tasty it is – the Prosecco and soda water add some bubbles without any added sugars, and the Hugo is made from natural ingredients. Plus, it’s perfect for sipping on a warm day or enjoying at a family gathering.
One of the key techniques in making this recipe is getting the proportions just right – you want the Hugo to be strong enough to give the drink its signature flavor but not so strong that it overpowers everything else. It’s all about finding that balance between flavors.
When I’m serving this at a party or gathering, I like to set up a little bar with glasses and bottles of Hugo and Prosecco so everyone can help themselves. It’s such a fun way to get everyone involved and enjoying themselves.
