Luscious Libation: St-Germain Cocktail


St-Germain is the "it" liqueur. Up until 3 years ago, it wasn't even available in Canada. Now, it's a part of every Gastown mixologist's daily double. At $50-$60 per bottle, it's an investment, but well worth it. Its light elderflower taste compliments a variety of cocktails and is especially lovely during the warmer months.

Here's an easy favourite of mine:

2 parts Champy or dry sparkling
1 1/2 parts St-Germain
2 parts sparkling water 

Pour, in the above order, into a glass filled with ice. Stir and enjoy!

It's Friday -- treat yourself!
