Refreshing St. Germain Spritz: A Floral Twist on a Classic

The St. Germain Spritz is a delightful cocktail that brings a floral charm to the classic Aperol Spritz. This drink is as elegant as it is simple, making it perfect for brunches, warm evenings, or any time you crave something a bit fancy. It truly celebrates the beauty of summer in every sip!

A glass of ice with a lemon slice is being filled with prosecco, with a St-Germain bottle and lemons in the background.

After spending three wonderful years soaking in the Parisian café culture, I’ve cultivated a deep love for the Aperol Spritz. However, lately, I’ve fallen for its new rival: the St. Germain Spritz. By swapping out the Aperol for St. Germain, you create a cocktail that’s lighter, sweeter, and imbued with a lovely floral aroma. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

Why Make This St-Germain Spritz Recipe

So Easy: With just three ingredients that can be ready in under three minutes, it’s a breeze to whip up!
Low-Alcohol: Enjoy a refreshing cocktail that’s lower in alcohol, making it ideal for hot days or lighter dinner parties.
Crowd-Pleaser: Everyone loves something bubbly, crisp, and just a hint sweet. This drink is bound to win hearts!

🥗 Ingredients

Prosecco: Opt for a dry Prosecco to balance the sweetness of St. Germain. Feel free to substitute with champagne or another sparkling wine!
St. Germain: This famous French elderflower liqueur can easily take the spotlight. If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option, make a homemade elderflower syrup.
Club Soda: More bubbles enhance the fun! Alternatively, you can use tonic water or sparkling water, keeping in mind the slight flavor variations.
Lemon: Garnish with a slice or twist of lemon. Other citrus fruits like lime or orange can work wonderfully too!
