St-Germaine is a delicious elderflower liqueur that tastes delicious on its own. But it’s perfect in these St-Germaine cocktails featuring gin, rum, vodka and more.
It was created in France in the early 20th century. The St. Germaine company is still family-owned and operated, and the liqueur is produced in the same way that it was when it was first created.
The liqueur is made from elderflowers, which are the white flowers that grow on elderberry trees. Its flavor is delicate and floral, and a little bit hard to describe.

The March Rain Cocktail is something I created one rainy evening in March, hence the name. I started with sweet liqueurs, which is unusual for me since I generally don’t love sweet cocktails, but it ended up not so sweet, with an even less sweet version that’s just as tasty.
The Berimbau cocktail is another original from Favela Cubana in Greenwich Village. It features Velho Barreiro Cachaça, one of the few cachaças exported from Brazil. It has a sweet, earthy, fruity taste.
