Cooling down – this is what everyone wants on a hot summers day. In such situations the good glass of red wine is quickly changed for a fresh beer, but it has not to be like this, ’cause also wine can be really refreshing!

We from Vihucas wanted to try it and for that reason we mixed tasty summer cocktails with our great wines. With cocktails its like with cooking: The better the wine, the better the result. Little by little we will present you our refreshing creations. Try it and enjoy!

We want to start with a drink, which is already famous in Austria, the south of Germany and the north of Italy but which till now didn´t make it to Spain: The Hugo.

Ingredients:

• 150 ml white wine (for example the Vihucas Enblanco)
• 100 ml sparkling water
• 2 cl elder syrup
• fresh mint leaves1 limeice cubes

Preparation:

For a fresh and intense aroma squeeze some of the mint leaves and spread it over the inner part of the glass. Now you put the ice cubes in the glass and half the lime. Squeeze one half into the glass and cut the other half into slices. Next put the sparkling water, the wine and the syrup in the glass. If you like it sweet, put some more of the syrup. At the end you add the mint leaves, the lime and a straw, stir to mix. The Hugo is ready to enjoy!

 Tipp: The Hugo can also be mixed with sparkling wine instead of white wine.
