Pin ItIf you like Champagne and St. Germain, this cocktail is for you! Champagne and St. Germain are made in France and complement each other perfectly. (Here’s tips for choosing the best champagne for mimosas and other cocktails if you need advice!)
We envision sipping this cocktail outdoors on a warm evening. Furthermore, it’s perfect for a simple gathering like a baby shower, bridal shower or even for New Year’s Eve.
Ingredients and Shopping List
St. Germain
St. Germain is a French liqueur that is made with elderflowers. It has floral notes as well as peach, grapefruit and pear. The natural, fresh flavor is the perfect addition to a cocktail.
Champagne
Want to make it truly French? Use real Champagne. But a good sparkling wine works beautifully too.
Sparkling Water
Expert Tips
Use chilled ingredients: Cold Champagne + cold St. Germain = extra refreshing.
Garnish like a pro: Try a lemon twist, sprig of lavender, or edible flower to make it party-ready.
Don’t overdo the water: Just a splash of sparkling water keeps it light without diluting the flavor.
Make it in batches: Hosting a group? Mix a pitcher and pour over ice when guests arrive.
