The Hugo Spritz is another Italian cocktail that is probably the 2nd most popular spritz in Italy next to the Aperol Spritz.

The Spritz recipe differs in that it is a lighter more citrusy take, versus the bitter quality that an Aperol Spritz usually has.

When it comes to a dinner party, this is my preferred Spritz recipe. I haven’t met anyone that hasn’t enjoyed it.

It’s even perfect for people who don’t drink much. One of my besties doesn’t really drink but when she does she likes a good Hugo Spritz.

Let’s make this incredibly simple Hugo Spritz!
