Description
I’m declaring this Limoncello Berry Hugo Spritz the drink of the summer! It is light, bright, lemony, and a touch sweet with notes of fresh mint and elderflower liqueur. It is super refreshing, and I can’t stop making it. Everything you want in an easy summer cocktail!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 oz elderflower liqueur
- 1/2 oz limoncello
- Ice
- 1/4 cup frozen mixed berries (not defrosted – keep frozen)
- 2 lemon slices
- 4 oz prosecco
- Splash of sparkling water
Instructions
- To a wine glass, add the mint and elderflower liqueur. Gently muddle the mint leaves.
- Add the limoncello and then the ice and frozen mixed berries.
- Top off with the prosecco, then the sparkling water. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients and then garnish with lemon slices and another sprig of mint. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I have made this cocktail both with and without the mint – it is delicious either way! The mint is key in a traditional hugo spritz, but just know that this will taste wonderful without it. Mint is optional!
- You can use any berry here you like. Frozen is nice because it helps keep the drink cold and will infuse the drink more slowly with berry flavor.
- Recipe lightly adapted from Juilianna McIntosh.
