Questions

Can I make Hugo Spritz without alcohol?

The alcohol here is 3 oz prosecco, chilled. Replace a base spirit with the same volume of a zero-proof spirit, or with chilled tea or tonic for bite; replace sparkling wine with sparkling water and a squeeze of citrus. Keep every other line as written, and expect a lighter, sweeter drink, since alcohol also carries bitterness and body.

Is Hugo Spritz low-carb?

A serving of Hugo Spritz carries 12 g of carbohydrate. Against a strict 20 g keto day that is 60 percent of the budget; against a moderate 100 g low-carb day it is 12 percent.

How many carbs are in Hugo Spritz?

One serving (the recipe makes 1) has 12 g of carbohydrate in about 170 calories, with 0 g protein and 0 g fat, plus 15 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I batch Hugo Spritz for a group?

Yes. As written it serves 1. Halved, the prosecco drops from 3 oz to 1 1/2 oz; doubled, it is 6 oz. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. To batch it for a crowd, multiply everything but add the ice only when serving.
