Three refreshing St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur cocktails for summer sipping

Made with the natural sweetness of fresh, handpicked wild elderflower blossoms, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur is a summer sipping staple. Try it in these cocktails. 

Once a year, in late spring, when the elderflower blossoms are at their peak in flavour and aroma, they're picked by hand and used to make St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur. Up to 1,000 fresh, handpicked wild blossoms go into each bottle, giving this indulgent, yet delicate liqueur its natural sweetness with hints of pear and honeysuckle.

When hot summer days call for a refreshing cocktail, we always reach for a golden bottle of St-Germain. Naturally sweet, floral and balanced, with a natural sweetness, St-Germain can be used to elevate simple serves like a spritz or margarita — and it can make any cocktail bloom. Try it in these St-Germain cocktails and make any moment bloom this summer.
