now, bubbly is even better

last week i received a bottle of st. germain as a thank you gift (thanks natalie!!), and i could not have been more excited. i've seen the gorgeous advertising in mags and posters around the city (check them out here) and have been so curious to know if the liquor itself could live up to the hype. well, it does! it's made in france from hand-picked blossoms of elderflower and the subtle, fruity flavor is THE perfect addition to a glass of dry white wine...or even better, prosecco. i mean, i thought bubbly was already top notch, but a few drops of st. germain and it's a million times more delicious. there are a bunch of recipe ideas on the st. germain website.

i'm always on the lookout for original thank you or hostess gifts and this is the best i've seen in a long time. natalie, i'm officially stealing your idea and i'm not shy about it. i might owe you a thank you gift for your thank you gift.

Glad you liked it! Love the drink itself and the pretty bottle too. just a drop jazzing up bubbles, and the bottle lasts forever. Enjoy!

I'm glad to hear the product lives up the the stellar design! I think you would also enjoy the Domaine de Canton design by Mucca!

Gave the St. Germain a try this weekend while watching the fireworks. It wasn't very American of me, but it was a refreshing digestif-great in hot weather. Will drink it again!
