  • "St~Germain is a French liqueur made with fresh elderflowers, hand-picked once a year in the late spring. 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, yet none of them exactly."

    SPICED ELDERFLOWER AND PEAR COLLINS
    This variation on a collins is a creation of bartender Stacey Swenson of Manhattan bar Dante. Stacey calls for warming cognac but this can easily be substituted to gin or vodka for something lighter and brighter. The flavours of elderflower, pear, honey and spices (white pepper, ginger, nutmeg and clove) work wonderfully together.

    - 30ml St~Germain Elderflower Liqueur (1 oz)
    - 22.5ml Pear Juice (0.75 oz)
    - 22.5ml Lemon Juice (0.75 oz)
    - 15ml 4 Spice Honey Syrup (0.5 oz)
    - Soda Water
    COLLETTI ROYALE
    Colletti Royale is a vibrant tequila and citrusy spritz by bartender Julie Reiner, co-owner of the well known cocktail bars Clover Club and Leyenda in New York City.

    - 15ml Cointreau (0.5 oz)

    - 15ml Blood Orange Juice (0.5 oz)
    - 15ml Lime Juice (0.5 oz)
    - 2 dashes Orange Bitters
    - 90ml Rosé Champagne (3 oz)

    A simple 3-ingredient riff on a classic Gimlet. St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur is used as the sweetener to balance the tart lime juice. The French Gimlet highlights the bright, citrusy and floral notes of St Germain.
    INGREDIENTS
    - 60ml Gin (2 oz)
    - 45ml St~Germain Elderflower Liqueur (1.5 oz)
    - 15ml Lime Juice (0.5 oz)
    ENGLISH GARDEN
    The English Garden brings together some classic pairings for St-Germain Elderflower liqueur - gin, apple, lime & cucumber. Served long, this one is filled with quintessential English flavours.
    INGREDIENTS
    - 45ml Gin (1.5 oz)
    - 30ml St~Germain Elderflower Liqueur (1 oz)
    - 50ml Apple Juice (1.33 oz)
    - 10ml Lime Juice (0.33 oz)
    IRISH MAID
    Jack McGarry at The Dead Rabbit in New York City created a subtle variation on Sam Ross' modern classic cocktail, the Kentucky Maid. Jack's Irish Maid substitutes Irish Whiskey in place of bourbon and omits the mint from the recipe.
    INGREDIENTS
    - 60ml Irish Whiskey (2 oz)
    - 15ml St~Germain Elderflower Liqueur (0.5 oz)
    - 22.5ml Lemon Juice (0.75 oz)

    ELDER FASHIONED
    There are two popular recipes for the Elder Fashioned each calling for alternate base spirits. Phil Ward of Death & Co, New York City created his Elder-Fashioned with Plymouth gin in 2007 and Simon Difford used bourbon whiskey whilst at The Cabinet Room in London the year prior. Both recipes were published shortly after St-Germain first released their elderflower liqueur. The touch of St-Germain adds a subtle floral note to a classic old fashioned.
    INGREDIENTS
    - 60ml Bourbon Whiskey (2 oz)
    - 15ml St~Germain Elderflower Liqueur (0.5 oz)
    - Half barspoon simple syrup
    - 1 dash Orange Bitters

    A minor correction regarding the last cocktail, the Elder Fashioned...
    There are two popular recipes for the Elder Fashioned each calling for alternate base spirits. Phil Ward of Death & Co, New York City created his Elder-Fashioned with Plymouth gin in 2007 and Simon Difford used bourbon whiskey whilst at The Cabinet Room in London the year prior. I mentioned the bourbon whiskey version was by Phil Ward... but this is wrong. eek!

      There's a great cocktail with St germain you should try.
      It's called the Cure:
      30ml Hendrick's gin (1oz)
      15ml St germain (0.5oz)
      15ml lemon juice (0.5oz)
      10ml simple syrup (0.33oz)
      Dry shake with cucumber slices
      Gently top with prosecco or champagne.

    • @natmickan
      @natmickan 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The recipe you showed on screen was different to what you said/made (the recipe says 1 dash bitters, but you went with 2). Can you please clarify which is “correct”/whether you think it’s better one way or the other?

  • @vishalmerani5101
    @vishalmerani5101 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    My personal favorite is a combination of a shot of vodka, half a shot of st. germain, half a shot of lemon juice, one shot of tonic water, and a dash of angostura bitters. Tastes like a lychee drink but with no lychee in it, and perfect for the summers.

    Made the Irish Maid with Beefeater Pink Strawberry gin (holiday gift from my UK team) and topped with Fentimans tonic water. Their elderflower tonic would be interesting too. Really enjoyed the combo. Did skip the simple syrup because didn’t have it on hand and increased the Elderflower syrup. Love you Steve!!!! Thanks for always creating inspiration to combine whatever is on my home bar.

    A bartender made me this drink in Austin Texas and I’ve remade it at home so much times it is so delicious! He called it a Whiskey Margarita but I call it a Special Arnold Palmer because it takes like tea and lemonade!! The best 🥰

    Love me some St Germain. It can be the “secret sauce” in so many cocktails. And I agree it pairs so well with cucumber. Gin base is also a favorite pairing of mine. Just came up with this one that I enjoyed last night (no name yet):
    2oz Hendricks Gin
    1oz St Germain
    1/2 oz. Kaz Spiced Honey Liquor (it’s a locally distilled spirit)
    3/4 oz lemon juice
    Muddled blueberries (about 10 berries)
    Muddled Mint leaves (about 5)
    Cheers!

It's a great addition to a Gin & Tonic (2 parts gin to 1 part St. Germain) or in a French 75 (3 parts Gin to 1 part St. Germain plus sparkling wine and lemon juice. I leave out the simple syrup.)

    English garden with muddled cucumber and mint : even better. Cheers from France, Steve.

    I'm running out of room in my bar, but this is a pretty good justification for buying a bottle of st Germain since i own all other ingredients outside of pear juice.

    I'm new to the cocktail world, and i'm loving your content Steve! We don't have any proper cocktail bars here, so content like this is very helpful in helping me understand what these liqueurs are like and in which ways they can be paired. Keep it up mate!
    We live in Nth QLD, we find a lot of cocktails either a bit hard to drink right now( old fashioned etc), or dangerously fast to drink in the afternoon heat! We find it necessary to lengthen our drinks with soda or juice, id love to see an Ep on those types. I'm also a big fan of Chinotto, do you have any recipes using that?
    cheers

    In England, cider is also the fermented juice of apples. It is also almost always alcoholic, but you may occasionally see bottles where the alcohol has been removed to below 0.5% ABV, and it has been re-carbonated. In the US, where I now live, cider is unpasteurized, unfiltered apple juice, and it can be hard or soft. It will naturally ferment and turn into what the rest of the world calls cider.

    I really enjoy St Germaine. My favorite includes vodka, St Germaine, lemon juice, muddled strawberries, simple syrup and club soda.

    One of my go-to drinks is an English Martini. I've seen different proportions, but I prefer to use the classic martini blend of 5:1.
    Strip the leaves off a sprig of rosemary into a mixing glass. 2 1/2 oz. gin, .5 oz St. Germain. Muddle the rosemary. Add ice. Stir. Strain. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary.

    Love almost all cocktails that contain cucumber, that green, fresh cut lawn, grassy note makes it taste healthy and who don't like the smell of fresh cut grass in the summer 😂

    Hey Steve, great video! Loved your English Garden, I’ve made the fizz variant before over on my channel. I absolutely love St.Germain as well, such a brilliant ingredient! I most recently used it in a cocktail called the “Ruby Red” - really delicious, grapefruit based cocktail, different to the Paloma but perhaps a good rival for summer drinking! Would be interested to know if you’ve ever made this one and what you think?

    I've made the Sunflower and the Irish Maid already. Both excellent! I find them both to be a bit on the sweet side, but they were so delicious that I quickly stopped worrying about it.
    Selfishly, I'll promote one of my original cocktails that used St~Germain, as I think it came out really well.
    Keichō Embassy
    1 1/2 oz Suntory Toki Japanese whisky
    1/2 oz St~Germain
    1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse
    1 oz Fuji apple juice
    1/2 oz Lemon juice
    Shake, strain, coupe, no garnish.

      I feel like St. Elder is not a sweet as St. Germain if you want to try that maybe

    Best st germain cocktail is a royal orchid IMO. St germain with gin, gold rum, lime and guava nectar. 10/10 unreal

    Surprised to see my personal favourite is not on here. Elderflower martini:
    Muddle a lime in shaker.
    45ml vodka
    30ml St. Germaine
    15ml Dry Vermouth
    Shake well n serve!

    Always considered buying this bottle for a few cocktails, but it's pretty dang expensive here in these parts (central Canada) for such a unique ingredient.
