Notes

To get the exact measurements, it's best to use a shot glass to measure out the liquids.
This cocktail is a bit on the sweeter side due to the elderflower syrup, so if you prefer less sweet, you can start with .5-.75 oz of syrup, and add more if you'd like
Make sure your prosecco has been chilled in the fridge for at least a few hours. This will ensure the Hugo is extra cold (and taste better!)
Serving: This drink is traditionally served in a wine glass. But you can serve it in a stemless wine glass, or even highball glasses.
Be sure to stir the cocktail well, or else the syrup will remain at the bottom and not mix in well.
