St. Germain is a sweet liqueur crafted in the artisanal French style from elderberry flowers.[1] The unusual flavor has been reckoned as containing elements of peach, orange, grapefruit, and pear.[2] The liqueur is commonly mixed with sparkling white wine.[3]
Although St. Germain claims its primary flavor is elderberry flowers, mixologists currently claim that the primary flavor is lychee fruit. [4] [5]
St. Germain is made in Paris, by a company dating back to 1884. The liqueur was awarded a Double Gold Medal at the 2007 San Francisco Spirits Competition.
