St Germain Liqueur

Every summer, for just six short weeks, elderflowers bloom in the French Alps, and a team of pickers must gather them all by hand. St Germain is distilled from those very flowers on the same day they're picked, capturing a fleeting, floral sweetness that would otherwise wilt within hours. The result has become bartenders' secret weapon worldwide.

    Spring captured in a bottle - St-Germain is the elderflower liqueur that brought the fleeting scent of fresh elderflowers from the French Alps into the world's best cocktail bars.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    St-Germain is a French elderflower liqueur made from fresh elderflowers macerated in neutral grape spirit, bottled at 20% ABV.

    St-Germain was created by Robert J. Cooper and made its world debut in 2007, after which the brand was acquired by the major spirits company Bacardi in 2013. The elderflowers are hand-picked at the foot of the French Alps in Haute-Savoie and macerated in grape spirit within 48 hours of harvest to best preserve the fresh aroma.

    Smag

    St-Germain has a delicate, floral taste of fresh elderflowers with a hint of pear and citrus. The liqueur is light and elegant with a pleasant sweetness that never becomes cloying, and a fresh, floral finish.

About St-Germain

St Germain is a French elderflower liqueur, handmade from freshly picked elderflowers from the French Alps. For the newcomer it's a light, floral, easy-drinking liqueur that elevates even the simplest cocktail; for bartenders and connoisseurs, St Germain has earned the nickname 'bartender's ketchup' since its launch, because it fits into almost any drink and has spawned its own category of elderflower-based cocktails worldwide.

History & Background

St Germain was launched in 2007 by Robert J. Cooper, who wanted to capture the fleeting flavour of French elderflower, an ingredient traditionally found only in homemade cordial. The flowers are still picked entirely by hand during a short spring season, mostly by locals in the Alpine region, and rushed to distillation to preserve their freshness. The liqueur revolutionised the cocktail world by making an almost impossible ingredient available year-round.

Production & Style

The liqueur is made from hand-picked elderflowers, macerated and distilled to preserve the fresh, floral aroma.
