Best St-Germain Cocktails You Can Make for Any Occasion

St-Germain is one of the finest liqueurs out there that’s flavored with elderflowers. If you aren’t familiar what elderflowers are, they’re small, white starry flowers that only bloom through the spring and summer seasons. And while the flower is used in many foods and drinks in Europe, the U.S. finds the flower to be the best in the form of St-Germain. That’s why this liqueur has a delectable taste of floral notes from the elderflower. And St-Germain can be made into numerous delicious and appealing cocktails and drinks that can be enjoyed anytime of the year.

Whether you own a private home bar or simply enjoy whipping up cocktails and drinks in the comfort of your kitchen, I highly recommend trying out some St-Germain cocktails.
