This drink was created by Phil Ward around the time St-Germain was introduced (circa 2007). This elderflower liqueur took the bartending world by storm and added a new flavor into mixologists palettes everywhere. I personally love it. The Old-Fashioned is my “desert island” drink, and I love to taste as well as make new variations of it. This gin version […]

Sangria Flora
This is one of the best sangrias I’ve tried yet. I am a sucker for pretty much any drink that includes elderflower liqueur, and the sweet, floral flavors of St-Germain pair perfectly with this fruity sangria.

St-Germain & Rosemary Caipiroska
This is a beautiful twist on a caipiroska, which if you remember from one of my very first posts, is a caipirinha with vodka instead of cachaça. I like all of the cocktails I’ve posted, but this one could be the new crème de la crème for me. Perfect for any time of year really, but […]
