Saturday Cocktailing | St Germain and Champagne


I served this delicious cocktail at my last New Year’s Eve party, and it was quite a hit. This bubbly concoction is perfect for special celebrations of any type, be it a birthday, anniversary, or just a regular hump day (that would be Wednesday...keep your mind out of the gutter). St. Germain is one of my favorite new spirits and can really be added to anything, giving even the most mundane G&T that extra kick. Recipe as follows:

1 shot gin
1/2 shot St. Germain elderflower liqueur
Champagne
Sliced strawberry

Fill a champagne flute with the gin and St. Germain. Top off with champagne and garnish with a strawberry slice.

A word to the wise: these drinks are delicious and go down easy, so be sure not to over serve yourself (or your guests). Unless, of course, that’s the goal. For those seeking a lighter refreshment, you can leave out the gin and add 1 full shot St. Germain.
