The spritz drink replacing Aperol

The spritz is looking a little less orange these days. The big picture: Although Aperol spritz remains a warm-weather staple, the pale green Hugo spritz — typically made with Prosecco, elderflower liqueur and soda water with mint and lime for garnish — is emerging as a major summer cocktail. By the numbers: The search term "how to make a hugo spritz at home" spiked 2,200% in the last month, according to Google Trends data shared with Axios. And "Hugo spritz" was searched more than "Aperol spritz" in more than a dozen states across the country. What they're saying: The Hugo spritz is "in a new stratosphere," Linden Pride, owner of New York City cocktail bar Dante, told the New York Times. It's been a top seller not only in New York but also at the Dante locations in Beverly Hills and London, Pride said. Other drinks that have recently reached peak search interest, per Google Trends, include: "Sancerre" and "chilled red." "Hōjicha" and horchata." The Viennese drink, "einspänner."
