From the Bartender
Roland Gruber, a bartender in Naturno, is credited with inventing the Hugo around 2005 as a lighter, floral alternative to the Aperol Spritz - it spread across northern Italy and Austria before going global. Muddle the mint leaves very gently if at all; bruising them too hard releases bitter chlorophyll and muddies the delicate elderflower note.
