Notes

  • Customization: Feel free to experiment with flavored syrups or sparkling waters to create variations of the drink. You can also add fruits like berries or cucumber slices for a fresh twist.
  • Chilled Ingredients: For the best experience, use well-chilled Prosecco and sparkling water. This keeps the drink cold and refreshing without relying too much on ice.
  • Serving Tip: Serve the Hugo Spritz immediately after preparation to retain its effervescence
