Summer sipping, but make it casual-chic.
Inspired by the ever-iconic @olivianoceda, this Raspberry Hugo Spritz is a fresh twist on the classic. Light, floral, and full of berry flavor, it’s the kind of cocktail you want to sip outside — bonus points if it’s served in a deli container with the sun hitting just right.
Made with mint, fresh raspberries, elderflower liqueur, lemon, prosecco, and a splash of sparkling water, it’s a super simple spritz that feels effortlessly cool.
Why This Recipe Works
- The Hugo Spritz is already iconic: mint + elderflower + bubbles = aperitivo gold.
- Fresh raspberries add color and tart sweetness.
- The lemon brings brightness and balance.
- Prosecco + sparkling water = just the right amount of fizz.
- Deli container? Optional but recommended. Casual elegance at its finest.
This cocktail feels fresh, playful, and totally unfussy. It’s what you serve when you’re hosting, but not hosting-hosting.
