St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur is a Liqueur from the St-Germain Liqueur brand hailing from France.

What is St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur?

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.

Why do we love St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur?

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.

How do you drink St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur?

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.

  • St-Germain is made from hand-picked elderflowers that bloom for just a few weeks each spring. Hundreds of French farmers race against time to harvest the blossoms before they wilt, often using bicycles to navigate the hillsides where the flowers grow.
  • The liqueur's recipe is so closely guarded that only three people in the world know the full production process. Even more intriguing, these three individuals are reportedly never allowed to travel together to protect the secret.
  • St-Germain was almost named "Fée des Alpes" (Fairy of the Alps) in a nod to its mountain origins. The creator, Rob Cooper, changed course at the last minute, choosing to honor the bohemian St-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris instead.
  • Main Ingredient: Elderflower
    Country of Origin: France
