Refreshing Hugo recipe

8 Liked
 

Homemade Hugo and ice cubes

Hugo is a refreshing summer drink that has become increasingly popular in recent years. The sparkling cocktail consists of Prosecco, elderflower syrup, soda and mint and is often enjoyed as an aperitif or as a refreshing drink after a long day. Especially during the elderberry season in June and July, people like to make their own elderflower syrup and use it for the Hugo. But to make the drink even more refreshing, it's best to add ice cubes.
Homemade Hugo and ice cubes are the perfect combination for a hot summer's day. After all, who wants to enjoy a warm cocktail when the temperature is high? The Hugo is ideal as a refreshing summer drink that is quick to prepare and has a light fruity flavour thanks to the Prosecco. The addition of homemade elderflower syrup in particular gives the drink an extra flavour that cannot be achieved with store-bought syrup.
But the ice cubes should not be underestimated either. With little effort and a suitable mould, you can enhance the look and flavour of the ice cubes so that they not only make the Hugo more refreshing and cooler, but also make it shine! A must for every successful summer party!
All in all, the homemade Hugo with ice cubes is a perfect alternative to other cocktails and soft drinks and scores points above all for its freshness and lightness.

You should also definitely use our elderflower syrup recipe for this, because homemade syrup simply tastes much more intense than store-bought. So, what are you waiting for? Mix yourself a refreshing Hugo with ice cubes and enjoy the summer to the full.

Ingredients

Elderflower syrup30-40 g
Sparkling wine | Prosecco150 g
Mineral water50 g
Lime juice1 dash
Peppermint | fresh1 piece / glass

Ice cube ingredients

Strawberries | fresh50 g
Elderflowers1 blossom
Water150 g

Manufacture

Pour the elderflower syrup into a white wine glass and fill it up with the sparkling wine and mineral water. Then add a splash of lime juice and the fresh mint. For a visual highlight, you can add cocktail glitter and homemade heart ice cubes.

The preparation now follows.

Cut the strawberries into very small pieces and place them in the silicone heart mould.

Once the hearts are sufficiently filled with the strawberry pieces, add a few of the tiny, fresh elderflowers to each mould. Then fill the heart mould with water. For even more flavour, you can also mix the water with additional elderflower syrup beforehand. Place the ice cubes in the freezer for at least 4 to 6 hours.

After the cooling time, you can mould the beautiful ice cubes and add them to the refreshing drink of your choice. Of course, they go perfectly with a Hugo! However, you can of course also add them to non-alcoholic drinks to enhance their appearance!
