Hugo Spritz
1 SERVING
Ice
½ ounce St. Germain
½ ounce mint simple syrup
(see kitchen tip)
4 ounces prosecco, chilled
1 ounce soda or sparkling water,
chilled
Garnish: lemon wheel and mint sprig
Add ice to the glass, at least halfway full. Add the St. Germain and mint simple syrup to the glass.
Add the prosecco and the soda water, and stir briefly and gently to combine.
Garnish with a mint sprig and a lemon wheel.
Kitchen Tip:
To make simple syrup, bring 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar to a boil. Remove from heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add 1 bag of mint tea in the hot liquid for 5 minutes. Remove and store in a glass in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. My favorite mint tea is Pukka Three Mint for its balanced flavor. Your syrup won’t taste like a candy cane or chewing gum!
