This drink sounds delicious! The Hugo is a new summer drink (would make a nice appetizer before a meal as well), originating in the South Tyrol region of Northern Italy, and is now popular all over Europe. Found on My German Kitchen in the Rockies. Serve a virgin Hugo, called a Heinrich, by substituting sparkling mineral water for the champagne. A Kurti is made by using basil leaves in place of the mint leaves. Find elderflower syrup at your local IKEA or online. Adjust the sweetness of your drink with the addition/reduction of the elderberry flower syrup.

Steps:
- Crush or muddle 4 mint leaves in a champagne or large wine glass.
- Add a small amount of elderflower syrup (about 1-2 teaspoons or 5-10 ml). Be careful not to add too much, otherwise you will end up with an overly sweet aperitif.
- Add the lime juice, champagne (100 ml= 3.38 fluid ounces) and mineral water (150 ml= 5 fluid ounces). Stir well with a cocktail spoon.
- Add more mint leaves and lime slices, and ice as desired.
- Serve with a straw.
