It takes 1,000 delicate elderflowers to make one bottle of the perfumed St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur we included in our May ‘19 Gin of the Month box. These chic cocktails will bring out the ‘je ne sais quoi’ in all of us! (And yes, we know - the Spritz doesn’t have any gin in it! We love it so much, we’re featuring it anyway. Consider it a bonus!)

40ml St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur
