The perfect cocktail to enjoy in the garden on a hot summer's day or sitting outside on those beautiful warm evenings or even just having a refreshing super-zesty delightful drink anytime. The refreshing cooling mint, the sweetness of the elderflower syrup and zesty lime (which balances out the sweet syrup) really is special. And after all ladies, we all deserve something special sometimes don't we!!

Ingredients:
50ml Elderflower syrup or cordial
50ml Vodka
250ml Prosecco
1 cup Ice cubes
1 Lime sliced
2 Mint sprigs

Notes -
If you want an extra minty flavour, you can add the mint leaves to your glass after placing the ice in. Before you add the mint, briefly rub the leaves between your palms - this draws out the flavour of the mint to give your Hugo that extra minty taste.
If you want to make your Hugo a longer drink, follow the instructions above but use a large tumbler or hi-ball glass and also add 125ml sparkling water at the time you add the prosecco. And if you prefer a non-alcoholic version, do not use the vodka and substitute the prosecco with a sparkling water.
