Ingredients
- 120 ml Champagne or Prosecco
- 15 ml Elderflower syrup
- 30 ml Sparkling water
- 1 unit Lime
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Gather all the ingredients and tools needed, including a stemmed glass, a cocktail stirrer, and a citrus squeezer if available.
Step 2
Place the fresh mint leaves in the glass and gently press them with the back of a spoon or a muddler to release their aroma. Avoid over-muddling, as this can make them taste bitter.
Step 3
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze one wedge of lime over the mint in the glass to add a burst of citrus flavor. Feel free to add the squeezed wedge to the glass for extra zest.
Step 4
Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled and refreshing.
Step 5
Pour in the elderflower syrup and sparkling water, giving the drink its signature floral and crisp base.
Step 6
Top the glass with champagne or prosecco. Pour slowly to preserve the fizz and create a beautiful bubbling effect.
Step 7
Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients evenly while maintaining the champagne's effervescence.
Step 8
Garnish with an extra sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a polished, elegant look.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the light, floral, and bubbly charm of the Hugo Champagne Aperitif!
