St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur

St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur is a French floral liqueur bottled at 20% and made from hand picked elderflowers, processed within hours of harvest to hold their delicate aromatics. Elderflower is a soft, fragrant base, and the liqueur balances a natural sweetness with floral elegance and a light freshness, in the macerated floral style.

The nose is intensely floral with fresh elderflower, pear, citrus and a subtle honey sweetness, the palate smooth and balanced with elderflower accented by lychee, apricot and a fine citrus note, the finish long, mild and elegant. For a buyer its value is as an aromatic modifier: it adds floral lift, gentle sweetness and a honeyed top note that rounds the edges of a drink without weighing it down. It is highly versatile across cocktails and aperitifs, and its signature serve is the St. Germain Spritz, built with sparkling wine or Prosecco, a measure of the liqueur and a dash of soda over ice. It also lifts gin and Champagne based serves with a floral accent.
