St-Germain

St-Germain is a French elderflower liqueur that was first introduced in 2007. It is produced by an artisanal technique which starts by macerating fresh elderflowers in warm water. The infusion is then filtered and combined with fruit brandy, water, sugar, and neutral grain spirit.

The elderflowers are picked once a year, and it is said that each bottle of St-Germain contains up to a thousand elderflower blossoms. The liqueur is balanced and refined with floral notes and aromas reminiscent of tropical fruit, pear, peach, honeysuckle, and citrus.

No artificial coloring is added to the liqueur, and its subtle yellow hue is obtained only from pollen. The name and the design of this fragrant French liqueur were inspired by St~Germain-Des-Prés, the Parisian quarter of Paris that was especially influential during Art Déco and Belle Époque movements.

St-Germain is an excellent liqueur for cocktails and mixed drinks, and it complements various types of drinks, including grain spirits, sparkling wine, gin, vodka, or white wine. It was created by the late Robert Cooper and is now owned by Bacardi.
