About
The Hugo Spritz is a refreshing and aromatic Italian cocktail that originated in the South Tyrol region of Northern Italy. It was created by Roland Gruber, a bartender from Naturno in South Tyrol, Italy. He named the drink after a friend of his who was an avid mountain climber. It gained popularity in recent years and has become a favorite choice for a light and bubbly drink. The Hugo Spritz is a great choice if you aren’t a fan of the more popular Aperol Spritz. The cocktail is characterized by its delicate floral and citrus flavors, making it a perfect summer sipper
