St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur 750ml
St. Germain is the world's first elderflower liqueur, crafted from up to 1,000 hand-picked elderflower blossoms per bottle, harvested from the foothills of the French Alps in Haute-Savoie. The elder shrubs bloom for only a few weeks each late spring and are at their ripest for just about a week, so local French farmers hand-pick the flowers and macerate them in grape neutral spirit within 48 hours of picking to capture their fleeting fragrance and flavor.
Bottled at 20% ABV (40 proof), this pale golden liqueur brings an intense bouquet of fresh elderflower and honeysuckle layered with ripe peach, pear, and a bright snap of grapefruit zest. The palate is lightly syrupy and lush, delivering passion fruit, lemon meringue, and tinned lychee balanced by assertive citric acidity that keeps the sweetness in check, finishing long and floral with lingering elderflower and a clean citrus zest.
Earning a 98-point score from Wine Enthusiast and a Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, St. Germain has become known among bartenders as "bartender's ketchup" for how well it lifts nearly anything in a glass, making it essential for a Champagne or Prosecco Spritz, a St. Germain Tonic, or as a versatile cocktail modifier.
