Start by gently washing the mint leaves and lime under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Take a large wine glass and add the ice cubes to it.
Pour 30 ml of elderflower syrup over the ice. This syrup will introduce its signature floral sweetness to the cocktail.
Add the fresh mint leaves to the glass, gently rubbing them between your fingers as you do so to release their natural oils, enhancing the aroma of the drink.
Add the half lime, sliced, into the glass for a touch of citrusy freshness.
Pour 150 ml of Prosecco over the mixture. This Italian sparkling wine will bring effervescence and a light body to the cocktail.
Top off your cocktail with 50 ml of soda water to add extra fizz while keeping it low in sodium.
Using a long spoon, gently stir all the ingredients in the glass, ensuring a well-blended mix of flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful low sodium Hugo cocktail, garnished with an additional sprig of mint if desired.
