The Story of St Germain
St Germain has captivated the palates of cocktail enthusiasts with its subtle yet distinctive floral notes. Crafted in the artisanal French style, this elderflower liqueur is produced using flowers handpicked once a year, during the brief spring season. Each bottle of St Germain is the result of up to 1,000 elderflower blossoms, transformed into a liqueur that boasts a refined and versatile flavor profile.

St Germain is celebrated for its versatile and elegant flavor. It offers a light, smooth sweetness with hints of peach, pear, and grapefruit, underlined by the fresh, fragrant aroma of elderflowers. Its pale golden color and syrupy consistency make it a delightful addition to various cocktails.
