Style: Floral Gin Spritz Cocktail
ABV: Varies by serve

Description

The Sunflower Hugo Spritz is a bright, floral and refreshing cocktail combining the distinctive character of Gŵyr Sunflower Gin with Perlissimo Hugo.

Floral gin botanicals meet the elderflower, mint and lime character of the Hugo, creating an elegant, lightly sparkling serve with layers of citrus, herbs and delicate sweetness. Fresh lime lifts the cocktail further, producing a wonderfully refreshing long drink that is particularly suited to warm afternoons and relaxed summer evenings.
