This is the “new” cool drink of the summer, already up, in Germany, and I’m spreading the good news here… Well the original version is from the north of
Italy and it contains prosecco, elderflower, lime and mint. In my Spanish version, I’ve used a nice Cava instead of prosecco, and it taste fantastic!
This Hugo drink is light, elegant and bubbly, perfect for those hot summer days!
For the ones who doesn’t know the elderflower syrup it’s a deliciously perfumed, flowery and sweet flavour, it’s incomparable to any other syrup… the closest flavour I would say is maybe “Lychee” and if you end up finding a bottle somewhere in an European market,
Ok… enough bla bla… let’s get that summer drink ready!
Spanish Hugo (Elderflower and Cava drink)
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of Cava
- 1 tbsp of elderflower syrup in each glass
- mint
- lime slice
- ice cubes
Directions
- Simply pour the cava over 1 tbsp of elderflower syrup, mint and lime and voilà!
That’s the ultimate way to start summer! Enjoy!

I love Elderflower! It’s such a lovely pairing with wine! If only it wasn’t so pricey! Great drink to share 🙂
Once in awhile for big occasions;)
I stopped at a little winery on Kansas one time and picked up a bottle of Elderberry wine. I’ve been looking for a way to use it. Hmmmm… I wonder if this recipe could be adapted? I’ll see if I can find some Cava and let you know
I believe the berry is quite different than the flower… but you should try it out anyways! Maybe you’ll invent some nice new drink! Let me know;)
