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

St. Germain spritz with lavender and Champagne.

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.
