What You Need to Know
The Italians love aperitivo. Which is fair enough. They did invent it. And the Happy HugoISH is its latest reinvention. More a spritz than a traditional aperitif, it still does the job. Crisp, light and oh so refreshing. Sundown? Golden hour? Any hour!
How You Do It
Pour 15mls each of elderflower cordial and lime juice in a cocktail shaker with a generous sprig of mint and muddle like you mean it. Fill the cocktail shaker with ice and top with the Chateau del ISH White. Stir gently and then strain into the highball glass. You should probably make two, because you won’t want to stop at one!
