Ingredients

120 ml Prosecco, well chilled
25 ml Elderflower cordial or syrup
30 ml soda water, chilled
8 mint leaves, plus a sprig to garnish
1 slice lime slice or wedge
ice cubes

Method

Clap the mint leaves between your palms to release their scent and drop them into a large wine glass with the lime and elderflower syrup. Press gently with a spoon; don’t shred the mint.
Fill the glass with ice and pour in the Prosecco, then top with the soda.
Stir once, very gently, and garnish with a mint sprig.

Tips

For an alcohol-free Hugo, use alcohol-free sparkling wine or just more soda water.
