summer love affair with elderflower liqueur
The secret is out: My new favorite liqueur is featured in today’s New York Times!
I discovered St-Germain earlier this month while having dinner at Taste with Stephanox. She ordered a drink aptly named the St. Germain, and we were so intrigued by the flavor that we had to ask the waiter about the ingredients. He brought us a glass of St-Germain on the rocks to taste. It was delish on its own! My very untrained palate picked up on the exotic fruit flavors and a subtle aftertaste of tea (herbal). I could picture myself elegantly sipping it from the crystal I received as wedding gifts and instantly declared it my new summer drink.
The next week I picked up my very own bottle at Spirit World. Cocktails, anyone?

So funny. I fell in love with it last summer, and when I stayed at The Standard in NYC for work last Sept, they had mini-bottles in the room which I took fuzzy blackberry pictures of. So delish. Try it in champagne!
I also saw an empty St. Germain bottle for $3 at my neighborhood Brown Elephant. While I (exuberantly) applaud their taste – really dude? Givin’ away your empties?
What’s Brown Elephant, and why were they selling an empty bottle of St-Germain?!
