St-Germain is a French liqueur made from elderflowers. It was launched in March 2007 by Robert Cooper of Chambord fame. And whether it’s straight up, on the rocks with soda, or drizzled into a white wine or prosecco as an alternative to kir, it become very popular stuff. This is no small problem, as it’s apparently quite rare. Elderflower or Sambucus Nigra season is impossibly short-lived. Apparently said Mr. Cooper has about 45 men with bicycles in his employ – the company terms them les hommes bohemians – who ride into the foothills of the French Alps for a few days each spring to harvest the blossoms and bring them back down to market. As the St-Germain website ( www.stgermain.fr ) points out, “To put this in context, we can safely say that no men, bohemian or otherwise, will be riding the hillsides of Poland this spring gathering wild potatoes for your favorite vodka.” Fair comment. The flavor of the elderflowers is extracted through maceration with eau de vie, citrus essence, and cane sugar, making this the first ever alcoholic elderflower drink – remember how popular elderflower cordial was in cocktails a few years ago? The end product here, presented in a belle-époque-inspired glass bottle, is soothing to the sight – a pale, floral, greenish hue imparts a feeling of tranquility and refreshment before even pouring the first glass. With the first sip comes lychee and grapefruit, then meyer lemon and pear. At the back, a little green apple (and possibly white pepper?). Best Served chilled.
