    St Germain Cocktails Recipe

    • St-Germain liqueur (French liqueur)
    • Prosecco or Champagne
    • crushed ice
    • top with club soda
    • chilled hibiscus floral tea
    • assorted flowers or herbs for garnish

    Mix The Cocktails

    Make hibiscus tea. In a saucepan boil 2 cups water. Turn off the heat. Add 2 hibiscus flower tea bags or 4 teaspoons of dried hibiscus flowers into a tea infuser ball. Steep for 5 minutes, and remove the strainer. Chill tea in the fridge until ready to use. 

    Add crushed ice to each glass, and let the glass chill for a few minutes. 

    In each glass pour ¼ cup or 2 jigger shots of hibiscus tea into each glass, 1 jigger shot of St-Germain, and top with 1 cup Prosecco, with a splash of club soda. 

    Garnish with small tropical flowers like purple orchids and Madagascar jasmine. Or use herbs you have in your garden, thyme or basil would be lovely. It is best to use edible flowers or herbs grown with no pesticides you have in your garden.

    Spritz Variations

    Alcohol Additions: Add different alcohols along with the St Germain floral liqueur like gin, vodka, tequila for a hibiscus tequila cocktail, bourbon, or whiskey. You can also try out the different flavored vodkas like strawberry basil or pear vodka for a unique twist for a garden party.

    Hugo Spritz: This is an elderflower spritz drink. Muddle mint leaves with St-Germain liqueur, then strain into a glass with a splash of prosecco, and soda water on top of the cocktail over ice.

    French Gimlet:  Make a sophisticated gimlet. In a cocktail shaker with ice, mix gin, St Germain, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Garnish with lime peel.

    Sweetness: Simple syrups made from any citrus or summer fruit like peaches, strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries.

    Bitters: It is also nice to add a drop or two of bitters, to balance out the sweetness.

    Mixers: Add mixers if you use gin try tonic water, or splashes of fresh lemon juice, grapefruit juice, lime juice, cranberry juice, or different fresh orange juices.

    Champagne: Make these champagne cocktails, and add a few ounces of French bubbly.

    St Germain Cocktail Garnishes

    Garnish Ideas: A slice of cucumber, a lemon twist, or orange or lime rounds look so nice. Use any small flowers or herbs, you can read more about edible flowers in my post for Spring Garden Crostini. Be sure to use ones with no pesticides or fertilizers.

    In my garden, hibiscus, Madagascar jasmine, and purple orchids bloom in June-August right in the heat of summer. Although the hibiscus can bloom almost year-round in Southern California!

    The purple orchids came from my uncle's garden in Fallbrook San Diego. I took some cuttings years ago and potted them in a large blue pot above my pool. I always think of Uncle Russ when the orchid plant is in bloom. He was very influential in my home cooking and love for gardening as he was a talented botanist.

    What is St. Germain Liqueur?

    An artisanal French liqueur containing up to 1,000 of the very best elderflower blossoms, these small white stary flowers are hand-picked and gathered from the hills in the French Alps for just a few weeks in springtime.

    What does St. Germain taste like?

    Saint Germain liqueur is fragrantly sweet, light, and many appreciate it's warm floral notes. As the world’s first, finely crafted all-natural elderflower liqueur, its flavor is as subtle and delicate as it is captivating, evidenced in its sublime notes of peach, pear, and grapefruit.
