St. Germain Elderflower
I am obsessed with this new liquer. St. Germain has bottled perfection. It is an artisanal liqueur made from rare wild elderflower blossoms that grow in the foothills of the Alps. According to St. Germain, "the starry white flowers are gathered by 40-50 men pedaling the Alpen French countryside picking the flowers that will be distilled into this intoxicating nectar. Blended with a small amount of citrus and natural cane sugar to accentuate the subtle flavor of the elderflowers, the resulting liqueur is delicate and balanced with fresh floral aromas and flavors and hints of pear, apricot and grapefruit zest." The elderflower herb also has medicinal properties.
I mix vodka, soda and elderflower into the perfect cocktail. The liquer has the most distinct taste, very light and refreshing. It's also perfect in champagne.
