The Hugo Spritz is the current cocktail favourite our editors are requesting on repeat. Here’s how to make it…

It's five o'clock somewhere! The Frozen Hugo Spritz — a euro summer favourite with a frozen twist.

It might seem counterintuitive having a frozen drink when temperatures are dim but trust me, when you’re rugged up with the heater blasting at 30 degrees, scrolling your #eurosummer infiltrated feed you’ll thank me. Just whatever you do, add the prosecco and sparkling water after you’ve blasted the ice and syrup to avoid spritzing the entire kitchen in a coat of Hugo.
