Holiday Cranberry Hugo Spritz Pitcher
An original make-ahead pitcher cocktail that folds tart cranberry and bright lime into a classic Hugo-style spritz. Floral elderflower, mint, and plenty of bubbles keep it light enough for a long holiday party, and you can mix the base hours before guests arrive.

Instructions
- 1In a large pitcher (at least 2 1/2 quarts), stir together the cranberry juice, elderflower liqueur, and lime juice until evenly combined.
- 2Add the mint leaves and gently press them against the side of the pitcher with a wooden spoon just until fragrant; do not mash them into bits.
- 3Stir in the cranberries and lime wheels.
- 4Cover and refrigerate the base for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours so the mint and cranberry infuse the liquid.
- 5Just before serving, add a generous amount of ice to the pitcher, or fill individual wine glasses with ice instead.
- 6Slowly pour in the chilled prosecco and club soda. Give the pitcher one or two gentle stirs so you do not knock out the bubbles.
- 7Ladle into glasses, making sure each serving gets cranberries, a lime wheel, and a fresh mint sprig. Serve right away while it is still sparkling.
