St-germain
St-Germain is a French liqueur, made with fresh flowers of the elderberry, hand-picked each year in the late spring. According to its website, St-Germain is “named in homage to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the iconic district in Paris known for centuries as an epicenter of free-thinking and artistic expression.” St-Germain was introduced in 2007, and is ideal as an aperitif and as a cocktail mixing agent. It is easy to identify with it’s art deco-inspired bottle design.
