St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur is part of our Floral Liqueurs collection. It comes from St-Germain Liqueur and is crafted in France.
St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, with its delicate floral notes and subtle sweetness, has become a staple in modern cocktail culture. What many don't know is that each bottle of St-Germain contains up to 1,000 elderflower blossoms, which are hand-picked during a brief 3-4 week period each spring in the French Alps.
St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur stands out for its delicate floral flavor derived from hand-picked elderflower blossoms, harvested just once a year during a fleeting 4-6 week period in the French Alps. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane byproducts, St-Germain is a versatile French liqueur that adds a subtle sweetness and complexity to cocktails, with notes of pear, peach, and grapefruit that complement a wide range of spirits.
St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur shines in light, refreshing cocktails like spritzes and fizzes, perfect for sipping on warm spring and summer days. Its delicate floral notes also complement gin or vodka-based drinks beautifully, and it pairs wonderfully with light appetizers, seafood, or fruit-based desserts.
Nose: Fresh floral notes of elderflower dominate, supported by subtle hints of pear, lychee, and grapefruit zest. There's a touch of honey sweetness and a faint whisper of muscat grape.
Palate: Smooth and viscous with a pronounced elderflower flavor. Tastes of ripe pear and white peach emerge, balanced by gentle citrus notes. A honeyed sweetness persists throughout, reminiscent of candied fruits.
Finish: Long and pleasantly sweet. The elderflower lingers, accompanied by a subtle spiciness akin to ginger. A slight tartness appears at the end, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste with hints of citrus peel.
St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur is crafted using fresh elderflowers hand-picked in the French Alps during a brief annual harvest. The delicate blossoms are quickly transported to the distillery, where they're macerated in neutral grape spirit and natural cane sugar to capture their ephemeral essence, resulting in a beautifully floral and versatile liqueur.
