St Germain Elderflower Liqueur owes its enchanting flavor profile to a century-old French tradition. Each spring, in a brief period lasting only a few weeks, the delicate elderflowers bloom across the French countryside. Local artisans handpick the blossoms, which are then swiftly transported to the distillery to capture their fresh, floral essence.
St Germain's creation is a race against time. The elderflower blossoms must be harvested and macerated on the very day of their bloom, a testament to the dedication to quality. Second, the artisanal crafting process relies on a secret technique, which includes a gentle cold maceration of the flowers, giving St Germain its distinctive flavor. The final product isn't just adored by the casual drinker, it has become a favorite among mixologists in the United States, known as the 'bartender's ketchup' for its versatile role in cocktail crafting.
