History & Origin

The Hugo Spritz was created in 2005 by bartender Roland Gruber in South Tyrol, quickly becoming one of Italy's most popular modern cocktails. This non-alcoholic version captures the same floral, minty refreshment using elderflower syrup and sparkling water. The combination of elderflower and mint creates an aromatic, sophisticated mocktail perfect for aperitivo.
