This is the perfect fall sip: a non-alcoholic Hugo spritz made with fresh apple, mint, elderflower, and cinnamon flavors. Alcohol-free prosecco and club soda add the fizz to this fall mocktail.

Non-Alcoholic Fall Hugo Spritz (Sparkling Apple Mocktail)

I wanted to do a fall twist on a Hugo Spritz mocktail, and I thought that tart apple would pair perfectly with mint and elderflower. I was right. This mocktail turned out SO good! It’s super bright and fresh. This recipe would work really well as a Thanksgiving mocktail.

I chose Granny Smith apples because I wanted a tart apple for this Hugo spritz mocktail recipe. I think Honeycrisp apples would also work well. This drink takes minutes to make, so pop it onto your to-do list.

For more elderflower-laced drinks, try this gin-grapefruit cocktail (made with elderflower rose gin), my elderflower salty dog, or a pomegranate elderflower bourbon sour!

Recipe Ingredients

• Fresh Mint: You’ll need a sprig of fresh mint for the recipe plus more to garnish with.
• Granny Smith Apple: I recommend a granny smith or any other tart apple for this apple mocktail.
• Elderflower cordial or syrup: This elderflower cordial from Belvoir has the most perfect, delicate floral taste.
• Non-alcoholic prosecco: I used Mionetto alcohol-free prosecco for this recipe.
• Club soda: This premium club soda from Q Mixers is the perfect mixer for this spritz.
• Cinnamon stick: For garnish.

Tools & Equipment List

How to Make It 

• Start by slicing your apple.
• Then, pop some mint leaves and apple slices into a stemless wine glass. Gently muddle the two together. Muddle enough to release juices from the apple but not enough to break the mint down.
• Next, add ice to a glass. Pour in the elderflower cordial, the club soda, and non-alcoholic prosecco and give it a stir.
• Top with apple, some extra mint, and a cinnamon stick.
