St-Germain French Artisanal Elderflower Liqueur, 20% ABV, 50cl / 500ml, Made with Fresh Handpicked Elderflowers, No Artificial Flavours

When I bought St-Germain French Artisanal Elderflower Liqueur, I wasn’t just looking for a drink—I was looking for an experience. You know, that touch of elegance that transforms your kitchen into a Parisian café (even if there’s a pile of dishes behind you). I imagined myself swirling a delicate glass, talking about “notes of elderflower” like I knew what that meant. Spoiler: I don’t.But here’s the thing—this liqueur lives up to the hype. It’s floral, smooth, and so dangerously drinkable that even my non-cocktail-drinking friends started asking for “just one more.”The Encounter:The bottle itself feels like an invitation to sophistication. Its sleek, Art Deco design looks like something you’d find in a fancy French bistro, not tucked between the ketchup and hot sauce on my counter. The liqueur inside is a golden elixir that smells like a meadow in bloom, and the taste? A perfect balance of floral sweetness and citrusy brightness.The first sip was like drinking springtime. I started with the classic St-Germain Spritz (liqueur, prosecco, soda water) and immediately felt like I should be wearing linen and discussing existentialism under a pergola. Then I got bold and added it to gin, vodka, even a margarita—it’s like the Swiss Army knife of cocktails.Review:Pros:Elegant Flavor: A perfect blend of floral sweetness and subtle citrusy tang, it elevates any cocktail.Versatile: Pairs beautifully with prosecco, gin, vodka, tequila, or even just sparkling water for a light, refreshing drink.Stunning Bottle Design: It’s a statement piece for your bar cart, even if your idea of a bar cart is a shelf in your pantry.Smooth and Balanced: No harsh aftertaste—just a delicate, lingering floral finish that feels indulgent but never overwhelming.Perfect for Impressing Guests: One mention of “handpicked elderflowers” and your friends will think you’re a mixology genius.Cons:Pricey but Worth It: It’s an indulgence, but the quality justifies the cost.Too Drinkable: You’ll run out faster than you think because everyone suddenly “needs to try” your cocktails.Floral Overload Risk: If you’re not a fan of floral flavors, it might feel a bit much—but for most, it’s a game-changer.Unexpected Adventures:One evening, I decided to go full-on French and paired St-Germain with sparkling water, lemon, and a baguette. My partner walked in, looked at the spread, and said, “Since when do we live in a Chanel ad?” Another time, I splashed it into a fruit salad for “research purposes,” and it transformed the dish into a dessert that could’ve been served at a five-star bistro.The real highlight? Hosting a cocktail night where every drink featured St-Germain. By the end of the evening, one friend was Googling flights to Paris, and another declared, “This is what being fancy feels like!”Final Thoughts:St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur is more than just a drink—it’s a vibe. Whether you’re sprucing up your cocktails, impressing dinner guests, or just treating yourself to something special, this liqueur delivers elegance in every sip.Would I recommend it? Absolutely. 5 stars—for taste, versatility, and its uncanny ability to make you feel like you’re living your best French fantasy. Bonus tip: Always keep a bottle on hand—you never know when you’ll need to escape to Paris (even if it’s just through your glass). Santé! 🍸✨

Fabulous, only tried for the first time a couple of years ago in France! I have fallen in love! Mixes well with a range of other drinks / beverages. One of my favourites combinations is this with Prosecco, sparkling water & a slice of lemon & smattering of ice, summer delight!

Perfect liquor to make a Hugo Spritz. No over powering taste.

Very nice with sparkling wine as well as prosecco.

Top quality elderflower liqueur for making ‘Hugo’ cocktails. Much classier than an aperol spritz and a lot more delicious. Mix a half measure of st germain over ice with soda and Prosecco, top with fresh mint and lime. A perfect base for a hot weather cocktail.

Wonderful liquor

Bought as a gift. Loved it.

Takes gin and tonic to the next level
