Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Champagne or Prosecco
- 15 ml Elderflower syrup
- 30 ml Sparkling water
- 1 unit Lime
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Gather all the ingredients and tools needed, including a stemmed glass, a cocktail stirrer, and a citrus squeezer if available.
Place the fresh mint leaves in the glass and gently press them with the back of a spoon or a muddler to release their aroma. Avoid over-muddling, as this can make them taste bitter.
Cut the lime into wedges. Squeeze one wedge of lime over the mint in the glass to add a burst of citrus flavor. Feel free to add the squeezed wedge to the glass for extra zest.
Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes to keep your drink chilled and refreshing.
Pour in the elderflower syrup and sparkling water, giving the drink its signature floral and crisp base.
Top the glass with champagne or prosecco. Pour slowly to preserve the fizz and create a beautiful bubbling effect.
Give the drink a gentle stir to mix the ingredients evenly while maintaining the champagne's effervescence.
Garnish with an extra sprig of mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a polished, elegant look.
Serve immediately and enjoy the light, floral, and bubbly charm of the Hugo Champagne Aperitif!
