Hugo spritz
The sweetness of elderflower liqueur is balanced with refreshing mint and the effervescence of prosecco and soda, creating a harmony of floral and citrus flavours in spritz form.

Elderflower liqueur is low in alcohol and very sweet. So my recipe includes more liqueur for maximum flavour, but also more soda water to balance out the sweetness.
The mint leaves amplify the flavour to a whole new level, so I highly recommended you include them.
