ABOUT

The world’s first artisanal French liqueur, made with up to 1,000 fresh, wild, handpicked elderflower blossoms in every bottle.

St~Germain is a French liqueur made with fresh elderflowers, hand-picked once a year in the late spring.

As the world’s first, finely crafted all-natural elderflower liqueur, its flavour is as subtle and delicate as it is captivating.

Creating St~Germain is somewhat of a race against time, as there are only a few fleeting weeks every Summer when the blossoms’ flavour and aroma are at their peak. That is why each bottle is individually numbered to reflect the year in which the flowers were picked, a charming reminder that even the smallest and most delicate opportunities can be nurtured into something beautiful.

As with any recipe, precision is essential for delivering consistent quality. St~Germain is made charmingly slow, utilizing age-old French techniques, starting with maceration.

The traditional process of maceration is a dynamic one, infusing warm water with the aroma and flavour of the finest, freshest elderflowers over the course of several hours. The all-natural elderflower infusion is then carefully decanted and filtered to remove its flowers and stems. The quality, aroma, and flavour of each infusion is diligently inspected before it is blended with previous mixtures, the result of which creates the exact fragrance and flavour profile of the elixir that will eventually become St~Germain.

The final 100% natural elderflower infusion is then skilfully blended with eau-de-vie de vin, water, sugar, and neutral grain spirit to, at last, create our beloved St~Germain.
