People search for an elderflower spritz and a Hugo as if they were the same glass. They share a scent and then split. A Hugo is mint and lime, usually with more wine than liqueur. This build is the longer, peel-finished spritz: equal-feeling soda, lemon oil, no herbs.

Thirty millilitres of liqueur is already sweet. Do not also add cordial.

What is the difference between a Hugo and an elderflower spritz?

A Hugo is mint, lime, and a wine-forward pour. This elderflower spritz uses more soda and a lemon peel, and it skips the mint.
