{"product_id":"hugo-spritz","title":"Elderflower Breeze (Hugo Spritz) | 8.4%VOL | Made for Dancing on Tables (or at Least Thinking About It).","description":"\u003cp\u003eSomewhere along the line the Hugo Spritz quietly overtook the Aperol Spritz as the drink people actually want in the sun. Lighter, less bitter, and far easier to drink in a garden at four in the afternoon. Ours is elderflower, citrus and a soft botanical finish, blended in small batches at our place in Manchester and ready the moment you open the fridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Spritz for People Who Find Aperol Too Bitter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is most people, if we are honest. The Hugo came out of northern Italy as the gentler alternative, elderflower instead of bitter orange, and it converts Aperol sceptics almost instantly. Ours keeps that character, floral and fresh up front, citrus running underneath, and a dry finish rather than a sugary one. It is the drink you can have in the afternoon without it flattening the rest of your day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElderflower Breeze, Hugo Spritz, Same Can\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may know this one by either name. We called it Elderflower Breeze originally, then discovered half the country was searching for a Hugo Spritz instead, so the can now answers to both. Same recipe, same blend, just a name that matches what people actually ask for at the bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCans and the Bottle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 200ml cans come in an 8 pack for the fridge or a 24 pack for the summer, weddings, garden parties, or any long weekend where you would rather not run out. Each can is a finished spritz, so nothing needs adding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 700ml bottle pours seven serves at a standard 100ml measure. For a table outside, pour it over a big jug of ice with mint and lemon slices and let people help themselves. If your guests all want something different, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/boozy-taster-pack-x8-cocktails-200ml-ready-to-drink\"\u003etaster pack\u003c\/a\u003e puts eight Boozy flavours in one box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Serve It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig wine glass, loads of ice, a sprig of mint and a slice of lemon or lime. That is the classic spritz serve and it is worth the ten seconds it takes, because half of a spritz is how it looks sitting on a table in the sun. Serve it properly cold. Warm spritz is a sad thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Strong Is It?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCans and bottle are both 8.4% ABV, which is about 1.7 UK units per 200ml can and roughly 5.9 units in the full 700ml bottle. It drinks lightly, which is exactly why the numbers are worth knowing. Our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/cocktail-abv-calculator\"\u003eCocktail ABV Calculator\u003c\/a\u003e will compare it against a spritz built at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSmall Batch, Made By Us\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlended and canned by us in Manchester, on our own kit, in small batches. Getting elderflower right is a balancing act, too little and it disappears, too much and it tastes like cordial, so this one went through more tasting rounds than most before we were happy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRather Make Your Own?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasily done with a bottle of elderflower and some fizz. My \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/recipes\/hugo-spritz-recipe-elderflower-spritz-easy-summer-serve\"\u003eHugo Spritz recipe\u003c\/a\u003e has the proper ratio and the garnish.

Ours delivers that elderflower and citrus character ready mixed, so there is no bottle of fizz to open and nothing to measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is it different from an Aperol Spritz?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn Aperol Spritz is bitter orange led and noticeably more bitter. A Hugo is floral and lighter, which is why it tends to win over people who find Aperol a bit much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is it called Elderflower Breeze on the can?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat was our original name for it. Hugo Spritz is what most people search for and order, so both names now sit together. It is the same drink either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many serves in the 700ml bottle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeven at a standard 100ml pour, though a spritz is usually served long over lots of ice, so stretch it as far as your glasses allow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boozy.co.uk","offers":[{"title":"8 Pack","offer_id":49910589292844,"sku":"Mojito-RTD-200ml-8","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 Pack","offer_id":45895291961644,"sku":"Mojito-RTD-200ml-24","price":71.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bottle (700ml)","offer_id":55660473811324,"sku":"Elderflower-Breeze-700ml","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/1875\/1276\/files\/elderflower-breeze-made-for-dancing-on-tables-or-at-least-thinking-about-it-436196.jpg?v=1774192094","url":"https:\/\/www.boozy.co.uk\/products\/hugo-spritz","provider":"Boozy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
