About this deal

St Germain liqueur is from France, and it is the world's first commercially produced elderflower. It got its name from the fashionable quarter of St-Germain-des-Près located in Paris. Actually there is red elderberry all over Washington state. I am not sure about OR, although CA only has the blue elderberry. St Germain isn't often paired with whiskey, so this drink is fun and unique: the Irish Maid! It's similar to a whiskey smash, pairing Irish whiskey with cucumber, lemon and St. Germain. Good to hear! I have a HUGE blue elderberry plant in my yard here in the Seattle area… (they are native to the PNW). It always has more berries on it than I know what to do with – so I’m going to steal some flowers this year!

In your post on making elderflower liqueur you said:

In truth, I usually find white sangria isn’t as flavorful as the red kind. But it suddenly comes to life when you add elderflower liqueur to the mix. The Hugo is a bubbly Italian spritz made with elderflower liqueur and Prosecco! It’s the perfect refreshing drink. Rosé vodka was new to me, and if you can’t find it, just add extra rosé to the mix. Although, I would go for something slightly sweeter in that case. It’s important to consider that elderflowers turn into elderberries, so taking them will mean less berries on the tree.”“LESS” is used for amounts to be measured like flour or salt. “FEWER” is used for items that can be counted like…berries.

Our bins hold 18-24 bottles of wine or Champagne or 2-3 cases of lager when filled with ice and water. Drinks will be chilled in 30-45 minutes and will be kept cold for several hours, especially if kept in the shade.What Drinks Should You Use St Germain Liqueur In?".

That would add plenty of flavor, too. They’re not as sweet as blueberries, but they’re also not as sour as raspberries, making them a great middle ground. Strain out the elderflowers with a fine mesh sieve, then add the optional honey or sugar and stir well or shake to combine.
