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.
