If you have never tried St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, you are in for a treat! The fruity-floral flavor can best be described as tasting of lychee, though it is much too complex to have only one flavor. Combined with Champagne it is a delightful cocktail for any occasion, and the Art Deco styled bottle makes a stunning gift. I am particularly enamored with the fact that the wild elderflowers used to make St. Germain are still handpicked each year by French gentlemen on bicycles. There is something incredibly romantic about that, don’t you think? Enjoy!
Mmm, I love lychee! This sounds like my kind of drink
I have to say that as much as I love a cocktail I don’t always understand the ins and outs of what’s in them outside the regular ingredients. I have, however, had Elderflower and it is sooooo good. The taste is distinctive and really amps up the flavor and drinking experience. If you’re a cocktailer that is! hehe

I had a really fantastic cocktail at this bar called The Whistler here in Chicago that was my first taste of St. Germain. It really is delicious paired with many things – a good investment for your liquor cabinet for sure! Have a great weekend!
Sounds and looks delicious! My go-to is a Cham Cham (champagne and Chambord) but I will give this a try – perfect for setting a stylish holiday mood!
Oooo, that drink sounds amazing. I would love to try it!
i haven’t tried this before… but i sooo want to now hehehe!!
How I adore a little St. Germain in my bubbly! We were on the same page this week-I just published a girl’s guide to sparklers!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Yum….and You know I love champagne!!
Come and enter my new Giveaway….I know you will love it!!

You definitely make this sound like a must-try!
i adore st. germain! and which some bubbly it is amazing! also good with gin

Wow I had no idea about the French gentlemen on bicycles. awesome.
This sounds delicious.
I also love St. Germain and lemonade!
I keep hearing about St. Germain but have yet to try it. Champagne is my drink of choice, so it appears there’s a new drink I must make.
I had a great cocktail at the bar in the Symphony house with champagne, St. Germain and a touch of pomegranate juice… it looks really festive this time of year!
Gah thank you so much for posting this, I’ve been searching for a decent recipe for making The Saint cocktail and my search is at an end.
Merci!
As a total champagne girl, I’m loving this cocktail idea!
