St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur

St-Germain, the world's first elderflower liqueur, was launched in 2007 by third-generation distiller Robert J. Cooper. Inspired by a cocktail he tried in London and the Parisian creative epicenter of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, this French liqueur quickly became a bar essential. Each bottle contains the essence of up to 1,000 fresh, hand-picked elderflower blossoms, harvested once a year in the late spring from the French Alps. St-Germain is known for its natural, delicate floral notes with hints of pear and citrus, and its versatility in a wide array of cocktails, earning it the nickname "the bartender's ketchup." The brand, now owned by Bacardi, numbers each bottle to indicate the year the elderflowers were collected, a nod to its artisanal production.

St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur offers a sweet, floral taste with hints of pear and grapefruit, adding a unique "je ne sais quoi" to your creations. It's a versatile team player in your home bar, shining in cocktails featuring gin, vodka, or Champagne, and can even complement whiskey. Think sparkling wine cocktails, sophisticated gin concoctions, or a floral twist on a Margarita.

St-Germain offers a fragrant floral aroma with hints of lychee, peach, and grapefruit. On the palate, it's subtly sweet with pear, elderflower, and citrus notes, leading to a long, fresh, and balanced finish.
