Introduction

The Big Batch Hugo Spritz is a refreshing, bubbly cocktail perfect for gatherings and warm days. Combining elderflower liqueur, fresh lime, and prosecco, it’s light, fragrant, and easy to make in large quantities.

Ingredients

• 10 oz elderflower liqueur
• 5 oz fresh lime juice
• 2 bottles prosecco
• 1 bunch fresh mint leaves
• 3 limes, cut into thin wheels
• Ice

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large pitcher or beverage dispenser, combine the elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, mint leaves, and lime wheels. Stir well to blend the flavors.
2. Step 2: Carefully top the mixture with the two bottles of prosecco and gently mix together to combine without losing the bubbles.
3. Step 3: Add a few cups of ice to the pitcher until it is mostly full, keeping the drink chilled.
4. Step 4: Serve immediately to ensure the prosecco stays bubbly and fresh.

Tips & Variations

• For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the elderflower liqueur with elderflower cordial and replace prosecco with sparkling water or soda.
• Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the spritz cold longer without diluting it with too much ice.
• Add extra fresh mint or a splash of soda water for a lighter cocktail.

Storage

This spritz is best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. Avoid storing after adding prosecco to prevent it from going flat. If necessary, keep the elderflower mixture separate and add prosecco right before serving.
