St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
A recently released liqueur, but you wouldn't know it from the beautiful Art Deco inspired bottle. If the maker is to be believed the elderflowers are hand-picked in the Alps and delivered to market by bicycle. As the harvest varies from year to year each bottle is individually numbered to indicate the year in which it was produced. It has a wonderful perfume that is not over-sweet. Great as a replacement for elderflower cordial.
Here are all the cocktails that you can make with this ingredient:
