Hugo Spritz Recipe

Hugo Spritz recipe — The cool younger sibling of the Aperol Spritz. Made with prosecco. Originally from Italy.

Lighter, more floral, slightly mysterious. Less famous than its sibling but arguably more interesting.

Invented in 2005 in a small South Tyrol village. Went from obscure to Europe-wide sensation in under 10 years.
