The Hugo spritz, a sweeter elderflower liqueur-based cocktail originating from Italy, is now stealing the spotlight from the traditional Aperol spritz in the UK's pub gardens and bar terraces. With its lower alcohol content, this new favorite is gaining traction, especially among those looking for a lighter summer drink. This shift signifies a growing trend towards diverse cocktail preferences, reflecting changing tastes and health-conscious choices. Bars like Sea Containers and Mayfair’s Claridge are already embracing this new trend, signaling a notable shift in seasonal beverage choices.
