St. Germain


If you aren't already a fan of St. Germain you, much like the rabbit in Alice in wonderland- are very very very very late (to what i'm not exactly sure)!

The bottle reminds me of an embellished, Victorian, somehow wealthy, former vagabond's bedpost. Grand, detailed, angular,frilly & at times seemingly frivolous...
We've been drinking this stuff for years now. Dumping it in champagne, muddling it with blackberries. Mixing it with vodka, fresh lime, & splashing on some soda.

It's an elderflower blossom- french liqueur and each bottle is numbered and each elderflower hand picked. There's a romance to this bottle and the aromatic whiffs within that is incomparable thus far. It's very french. click here for story
Oh, those french! so reliable in their enabling of my romanticizing ways...' the inventors of the 'je ne sais quoi'


It's not pear, not passion fruit, it's elderflower and it's whimsy and floral and good. A definite must have in any liquer cabinet!

My favorite st. germain drink(but the possibilities are endlesss)

  • 1 oz st germain
  • 2 oz vodka (citrus would even work)
  • 1 oz fresh lime
shake and strain over ice
top with soda water.

garnish with lemon
