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, including Louisiana.
What they're saying: Sales put the Hugo spritz "in a new stratosphere," Linden Pride, owner of New York City cocktail bar Dante, told the New York Times.
In New Orleans, you can find the Hugo spritz on happy hour menus at Gris-Gris and Gianna. The Country Club has the option of scoring a whole carafe on its brunch menu, too.
