First, pour the St. Germain into a wine glass and then add a few mint leaves.
½ ounce St Germain elderflower liqueur, Fresh mint leaves
Using a muddler or the handle end of a wooden spoon, gently press and twist the mint leaves a few times, just to gently bruise them and release the flavor of the mint's oils into the liqueur.
Then add the prosecco or sparkling wine, and finally the soda water or seltzer. If you don't have any soda water handy, a splash or regular water works just fine too.
4 ounces Prosecco (or other bubbly wine), 1 ounce soda water or seltzer
Finally, toss in some slices of lime or lemon and a few ice cubes, and garnish with a lime wheel.
Lime or lemon slices
Serve and enjoy!

🥂 Classic Hugo Mocktail - Swap out the prosecco for sparkling white grape juice or a non-alcoholic sparkling wine. Use elderflower syrup instead of liqueur.
🍓 Berry Hugo - Start with elderflower syrup and add a splash of berry juice (like raspberry or strawberry), top with club soda or lemon-lime seltzer, and toss in a few fresh berries with the mint for a little extra flair.
🍋 Citrus Hugo - Use elderflower syrup with lemon or grapefruit sparkling water, add an orange slice along with the lime for extra brightness, and maybe a squeeze of fresh lemon for even more zing.
🌿 Cucumber-Mint Hugo - Use elderflower syrup and soda water for the base, and muddle a slice or two of cucumber with the mint before adding ice and a non-alcoholic sparkling wine.
