I’d like to introduce you to my favorite easy cocktail recipe: the St. Germain Cocktail! A blend of St. Germain, gin (or vodka), and lemon that’s topped with a bubbly pour of sparkling wine like prosecco or champagne, it’s effervescent, refreshing, and the sort of beverage I envision myself sipping on at a classy party (or in my pajamas at home). Ever since I impulse bought my first bottle of St. Germain, I have been on a quest for the ultimate collection of St. Germain cocktail recipes. This sparkling one is my fave!

It’s super easy—we’re talking FOUR ingredients, with nothing you need to prep in advance.
It makes any occasion feel extra special and classy.
Even when I’m at my most disorganized in the kitchen, as long as I’m holding a glass filled with this St. Germain prosecco cocktail, I appear the picture of poise.
With 1.5 ounces of gin or vodka per drink, this St. Germain cocktail tends to make me feel like the picture of poise too.
Sip with caution. This St. Germain cocktail might taste light, but its contents are definitely fit for a celebration!

What Kind of Alcohol is St. Germain?

If you’ve never had St. Germain, it’s an elderflower liqueur.
It was originally created in 2007 , and it was named after the St. Germain-Des-Prés area of Paris.
It’s naturally flavored, and each bottle can contain up to 1,000 elderflower blossoms (CRAZY).
St. Germain tastes pleasantly floral, lightly herbal, sweet without being sugary, and is surprisingly versatile. Think of it like an elderflower syrup, but better.
I’m never one to add a big, fancy bottle of alcohol to my home bar that I’ll only use once or twice a year.
I’ve become a St. Germain person, however, and I truly find myself using it often in a variety of cocktail recipes.
