These St. Germain Cocktails are easy spritzers with Elderflower liqueur, Prosecco, hibiscus tea, and a splash of club soda over crushed ice.

Make St Germain Cocktails
Make Hibiscus Tea
- In a saucepan heat, 2 cups of water until just boiling.
- Turn off heat, add dried hibiscus flowers (or hibiscus tea bags) in a tea infuser ball.
- Steep for 5 minutes, remove the strainer. Chill hibiscus tea in the fridge until ready to use.
Mix The Cocktails
- Add crushed ice to each glass, let the glass chill for a few minutes.
- In each glass add 1 shot of hibiscus tea, ½ shot St-Germain, and 1 cup Prosecco, and 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.
The hibiscus, Madagascar jasmine, and purple orchids bloom in June-August right in the heat of summer. Although the hibiscus really blooms almost year-round.
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.
