Begin by selecting a large wine glass or a highball glass.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the bottom of the glass. Using a muddler or the end of a wooden spoon, gently press the mint leaves to release their aromatic oils. Be careful not to tear the leaves too much.
Add the lime slices to the glass over the muddled mint.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, ensuring the glass is about three-quarters full.
Pour the sugar-free elderflower syrup over the ice and mint.
Add the dry sparkling white wine to the glass.
Top off the cocktail with the club soda, adding a bit more if you prefer your drink lighter and less alcoholic.
Stir gently with a bar spoon to combine all the ingredients without losing too much carbonation from the wine and soda.
Garnish with an additional mint sprig or a lime wheel if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this low-carb, refreshing Hugo Cocktail.
