This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at our 71 Shirts internship. Megan will share what it was like to step into an internship where you’re not just shadowing, you’re running a real eCommerce business.

Hugo Spritz

A refreshing twist on the classic spritz, the Hugo Spritz originated in northern Italy in the early 2000s. Created as a lighter, more floral alternative to the Aperol Spritz, it blends elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, soda water and fresh mint. With its crisp, aromatic profile, the Hugo quickly became a summertime favorite across Europe, and now, a go-to for intern Megan.

Ingredients:

2 oz. rye whiskey
1 oz. sweet vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Garnish: brandied cherry (or lemon twist, if preferred)


Directions:
Add the St. Germain and mint sprig into a wine glass. Gently muddle and let sit for 3 minutes.
Add ice, prosecco and soda water, and stir briefly and gently to combine.
Garnish with a mint sprig and a lemon wheel.
