ST GERMAIN ELDERFLOWER LIQUEUR
With the summer finally on its way, the guys at Mai Tai are looking for new and interesting summer products to use in some truely brilliant drinks for the long summer evenings. After testing it last Summer a firm favourite has returned to the bar, St Germain Elderflower Liqueur.
St Germain is one of the few spirits in the world (that we can think off) that has its main ingredients hand picked, fresh elderflower blossoms are picked by men (Un Paysan's) at the foot hills of the Alps. There are only around 40 to 50 of the Paysans, who in total collect all the elderflower required for St Germain. Once picked the blossoms are bagged ready for the cysle ride down to the bottom of the mountain and the local market where all of St Germains Elderflowers are purchased.
St Germain is a small batch liqueur that is both sweet, but also has a very natural flavour unlike many mainstream liqueurs. Its flavour is light, and unique and can be mixed with many ingredients such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberry and apricots.
It also has a depth of flavour that can stand side-by-side with these strong fruit flavours. When mixed with a Dry London Gin, St Germain explodes into life, with little more than a touch of tonic water.
Definately one to try this summer!
The guys from the bar are working on some fantastic cocktails with St Germain which will be up on here soon!
