A minor correction regarding the last cocktail, the Elder Fashioned... There are two popular recipes for the Elder Fashioned each calling for alternate base spirits. Phil Ward of Death & Co, New York City created his Elder-Fashioned with Plymouth gin in 2007 and Simon Difford used bourbon whiskey whilst at The Cabinet Room in London the year prior. I mentioned the bourbon whiskey version was by Phil Ward... but this is wrong. eek!
There's a great cocktail with St germain you should try. It's called the Cure: 30ml Hendrick's gin (1oz) 15ml St germain (0.5oz) 15ml lemon juice (0.5oz) 10ml simple syrup (0.33oz) Dry shake with cucumber slices Gently top with prosecco or champagne.
The recipe you showed on screen was different to what you said/made (the recipe says 1 dash bitters, but you went with 2). Can you please clarify which is “correct”/whether you think it’s better one way or the other?
2 oz whiskey 1 oz Lemon juice 3/4 oz st germain Shake and serve over ice in rocks glass. Sometimes garnish with lemon wheel or mint A bartender made me this drink in Austin Texas and I’ve remade it at home so much times it is so delicious! He called it a Whiskey Margarita but I call it a Special Arnold Palmer because it takes like tea and lemonade!! The best 🥰
Love me some St Germain. It can be the “secret sauce” in so many cocktails. And I agree it pairs so well with cucumber. Gin base is also a favorite pairing of mine. Just came up with this one that I enjoyed last night (no name yet): 2oz Hendricks Gin 1oz St Germain 1/2 oz. Kaz Spiced Honey Liquor (it’s a locally distilled spirit) 3/4 oz lemon juice Muddled blueberries (about 10 berries) Muddled Mint leaves (about 5) Cheers!
I was showing the shift bartender the cocktail for the evening. I shook the drink smiled. And said make sure you smile. They said why do I have to smile? And I told them BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE RECIPE! 🤌 And you put on your smile when you come to work. Or stay home! Thanks steve. Great work. Keep smiling
My wife's wedding cocktail that she had available to everyone was the Rose Garden: glass of sauvignon blanc with a shot of elderflower and dash of grenadine syrup. Deliciously sweet and very light and aromatic!
Just in time! Just got a bottle of this the other day and have been looking for some good recipes. Can’t wait to try some of these! If you’re lookin for another video idea, doing something similar with Domaine de Canton would be clutch 👀
Learning to make my own cocktails and after seeing this, I decided to get a small bottle of this liqueur. Decided to start with the gimlet and all I can say is wow! Sweet, herbaceous, floral and refreshing. Used Tanqueray Gin if anyone was curious.
At Houston's restaurant in California, had their elderflower cocktail which was just champagne, elderflower liquor, with an orange twist. It was so refreshing, would go great with dessert crepes.
Love when you make vids like this that justify me buying a bottle of something in the past for one cocktail 😂 also good to see Jameson used as I haven't seen many cocktails to specifically ask for Irish Whiskey
Man I’m going to dive into these over the next week or so. Years ago I was introduced to St. Germain thru a French Gimlet and have loved St. Germain ever since. Thanks Steve! BTW really appreciate all the details and recipes included in the description section. You go the extra mile and have become my #1 social media bartender hands down.
I gotta say, you are my favorite bartender on YT, but when you shake and give your bartender smile, I just melt 😁👍😍 BTW, I do love St. Germaine, mostly for the fragrance. How about some Domaine de Canton cocktails? Ginger cocktails are classic
Picked one up from the store today unaware that you made a video on it five days ago, what timing! Made the Elder Fashioned with gin, and it's a dangerous one.
Loved this one, will be buying that bottle. Big fan of okd fashioned variations. Had and old fashioned christmas party which was just pizza followed by 5 variations of the cocktail .. the one that stood out was the brandy version.
My personal favorite is a combination of a shot of vodka, half a shot of st. germain, half a shot of lemon juice, one shot of tonic water, and a dash of angostura bitters. Tastes like a lychee drink but with no lychee in it, and perfect for the summers.
I've made the Sunflower and the Irish Maid already. Both excellent! I find them both to be a bit on the sweet side, but they were so delicious that I quickly stopped worrying about it. Selfishly, I'll promote one of my original cocktails that used St~Germain, as I think it came out really well. Keichō Embassy 1 1/2 oz Suntory Toki Japanese whisky 1/2 oz St~Germain 1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse 1 oz Fuji apple juice 1/2 oz Lemon juice Shake, strain, coupe, no garnish.
In the USA (I'm in the Boston area) unfiltered pressed apple juice we call cider....if it's fermented (has alcohol) we refer to it as "hard cider". Cheers.
My favorite Is the Golden Goose. 2oz Vodka, 1oz St Ger, 3/4 oz lime, topped off with a splash of lemon lime soda. Great summer time by the lake kind of drink!
Hi Steve! These 7 cocktaiIs will keep me busy for a while because they all sound delicious. I love St. Germain and always have a bottle on hand. It's a great addition to a Gin & Tonic (2 parts gin to 1 part St. Germain) or in a French 75 (3 parts Gin to 1 part St. Germain plus sparkling wine and lemon juice. I leave out the simple syrup.)
We think alike! I’ve done the same thing. I’m also a tequila devotee and often sub in St Germain for Cointreau in my Margaritas. Silver tequila and St. Germain seems like a perfect pairing to me - both vegetal.
St, Germain , definitely the best Elderflower lq going around! Great video , as soon as I my old taste buds are working again ,(hope no one else watching this had the covid side effect ) I'll be giving all them a go .
Thanks for this. I've been staring at this bottle every time I go to the liquor store, knowing I'd seen it called for in a couple of recipes but couldn't recall which. Having them all here in one place is just the push I needed!
In England, cider is also the fermented juice of apples. It is also almost always alcoholic, but you may occasionally see bottles where the alcohol has been removed to below 0.5% ABV, and it has been re-carbonated. In the US, where I now live, cider is unpasteurized, unfiltered apple juice, and it can be hard or soft. It will naturally ferment and turn into what the rest of the world calls cider.
Never tried St Germain before, but all of those sound like excellent cocktails. Let them know their sponsorship worked. Next time I'm at the liquor store, one of those bottles will definitely be in my cart.
Love it again steve! Def should try the Lumiere. Dry Gin, St. germain, Chartreusse some fresh lime and orange bitters. I serve it with burned rosemary. It's complex, herbal, sweet. Serve it over a tulip, nick & nora or coupe. Keep up the good work. cheers
Surprised to see my personal favourite is not on here. Elderflower martini: Muddle a lime in shaker. 45ml vodka 30ml St. Germaine 15ml Dry Vermouth Shake well n serve!
Made the Irish Maid with Beefeater Pink Strawberry gin (holiday gift from my UK team) and topped with Fentimans tonic water. Their elderflower tonic would be interesting too. Really enjoyed the combo. Did skip the simple syrup because didn’t have it on hand and increased the Elderflower syrup. Love you Steve!!!! Thanks for always creating inspiration to combine whatever is on my home bar.
The Sunflower is one of my favourite drinks, I’m a big fan of the equal parts cocktails. A couple of other St Germain ones worth trying are the Right Word and the That’s My Word. Another that I don’t a like so much is the Sideways in Reverse.
I'm running out of room in my bar, but this is a pretty good justification for buying a bottle of st Germain since i own all other ingredients outside of pear juice.
I guess now I have plans for the second half of the week. 😆 Indeed the Colletti Royale and the English Garden will be what I will start with, but based on your comment the Irish Maid sounds like a great one too. Cheers!
The Elder Basil Smash! Muddle 6-8 basil leaves. Add 6cl vodka, 3cl St Germain, 2cl lime juice, 1cl simple syrup. Shake it and dump in a glass! Beauuuuutiful in the summer.😊👍
Love almost all cocktails that contain cucumber, that green, fresh cut lawn, grassy note makes it taste healthy and who don't like the smell of fresh cut grass in the summer 😂
Love making GT variants with a ratio of 4 gin 1 st germain 1 ruby red grapefruit juice, lots of ice, a slice of grapefruit, top with either an elderflower tonic or feevertree medeterraiean tonic and top with .5 campari
What a great video (well for me) my wife loves a hard St German spritz, I'm fully going to try the elder fashioned when I've finished not drinking alcohol for January, god know why I'm doing that. Cheers Steve!
Great video. Here I have a local elderflower liqueur by a distiller called Dillon. Less sweet but similar. Is very good. I like it in a gin and tonic. And btw, congrats on the workout routine
Not sure where my boyfriend found it, but we love a cocktail called Skeleton Key. It’s made with 1.25oz bourbon, .75oz St. Germain, .5oz lemon juice, 6-8 dashes of angostura bitters, and topped with ginger beer. Garnish with a maraschino cherry. It’s sooooo good and refreshing.
Steve have you tried a Le Gurk? If I am informed correctly, it is a German recipe from the Ruhrpott. It tastes AMAZING! You muddle half an hand full of cucumber. Then add 4cl Gin, 1cl simple syrup, 2cl lemon juice, 3cl apple juice and 2cl Saint Germain. Shake with ice. Strain. Garnish with cucumber. I would love to hear your thoughts!
My friends and i created a simple drink with ST. Germain called a 3G (or a Triple G) Consist of 2 ounces of Gin, half ounce of St. Germain and topped off with Gingerale. Garnish with lime wheel or wedge. Quite the crowd pleaser. For a different flavor you can sub the St. germain with Galliano.
I'm no Steve, but I imagine they'd probably be equal parts, maybe some minor adjustments for the stronger of the spices. As for how much spice, that probably depends on how much of the honey syrup you plan to make.
Awesome video, I'll have to try them all! My favourite St. Germain cocktail is one of my own creation, I call it the Golden Oriole (a Potion in the Witcher 3 game): 0.75p Gin 2.5p Mead 0.5p Elderflower Liquor 0.5p Lemon Juice (to taste depending on sweetness of mead) Shake, serve up in a coupe glass, garnish with honey comb (if you can find it)
This sounds incredible. Thanks for the cocktail! Have you ever substituted vodka for the gin, or do you need the juniper berry essence for the overall effect?
@@marthawood3367 You could do vodka, but I quite like how the botanicals of the gin give subtle flavours in the background. But if you're not a gin lover, vodka could work too (I usually substitute the other way around, but I am a bit of a gin lover :)
One of my go-to drinks is an English Martini. I've seen different proportions, but I prefer to use the classic martini blend of 5:1. Strip the leaves off a sprig of rosemary into a mixing glass. 2 1/2 oz. gin, .5 oz St. Germain. Muddle the rosemary. Add ice. Stir. Strain. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary.
Always considered buying this bottle for a few cocktails, but it's pretty dang expensive here in these parts (central Canada) for such a unique ingredient.

Why two Dashes of different bitters? Showing that either or works, or do you prefer both?
Does the elder fashioned with Gin still have orange bitters?
Can you tell me What the ratio of Quatre épices for X mL of Honey Syrup please? I can't find it on internet THX
There's a great cocktail with St germain you should try.
It's called the Cure:
30ml Hendrick's gin (1oz)

I need to try this!!
My absolute favorite go-to is the elderflower grapefruit G&T with rosemary. I wish I could bottle the smell and the taste is like heaven 😍
Mind sharing the specs?
Nice to see the Sunflower in the list. It's one of my all-time favourites. So yummy!
Just in time! Just got a bottle of this the other day and have been looking for some good recipes. Can’t wait to try some of these! If you’re lookin for another video idea, doing something similar with Domaine de Canton would be clutch 👀

Learning to make my own cocktails and after seeing this, I decided to get a small bottle of this liqueur. Decided to start with the gimlet and all I can say is wow! Sweet, herbaceous, floral and refreshing. Used Tanqueray Gin if anyone was curious.
Made the Sunflower and French Gimlet, both were excellent!! Can't wait to share with friends and family.
Just bought a bottle of the St. Germaine and tried the Sunflower….we only had Flor de Sevilla Tanqueray, and it was lovely! 🍊cheers!
At Houston's restaurant in California, had their elderflower cocktail which was just champagne, elderflower liquor, with an orange twist. It was so refreshing, would go great with dessert crepes.
Big Fan of St Germain, (big on the HUGO cocktail) Thanks for all the great cocktails, just made the Sunflower. Excellent!
These all look great Steve, Thanks :)
Love when you make vids like this that justify me buying a bottle of something in the past for one cocktail 😂 also good to see Jameson used as I haven't seen many cocktails to specifically ask for Irish Whiskey
I also use these videos as an excuse to build up my bar :-D
Am I the only one that sees your comment as being made 12 days ago on the day it was released?
@@ShirotoraGodsbane I'm magic 😂 Nah I got to the video through his app last time so the vid must have only been made public now
Very handy video as I was gifted my first bottle of St. Germains for Christmas!

BTW really appreciate all the details and recipes included in the description section. You go the extra mile and have become my #1 social media bartender hands down.
I love adding a shot of St Germain to my margarita’s! I usually hold back on the simple syrup a bit, since the St Germain is so sweet. So delicious!
Great idea!!!
I just made a Sunflower and I am rightly toasted. How delightful! Thanks Steve :-)
I gotta say, you are my favorite bartender on YT, but when you shake and give your bartender smile, I just melt 😁👍😍 BTW, I do love St. Germaine, mostly for the fragrance. How about some Domaine de Canton cocktails? Ginger cocktails are classic
Have always loved St Germain. Haven't tried most of these yet. Will do very soon.
Irish Maid is the one I'm looking to try first. Great video 😊
I’ve just made a couple of Sunflower’s. Beautifully balanced flavours of elderflower and lemon that belies the very very high alcohol content.
Picked one up from the store today unaware that you made a video on it five days ago, what timing! Made the Elder Fashioned with gin, and it's a dangerous one.
It works surprisingly well hey! There is another gin based Elder Fashioned floating around too!
Love the Irish Maid & English Garden. I have the EG as a brunch drink.
Loved this one, will be buying that bottle. Big fan of okd fashioned variations. Had and old fashioned christmas party which was just pizza followed by 5 variations of the cocktail .. the one that stood out was the brandy version.
Loved this video. I have my girlfriend and her brother coming into my bar today for drinks. This just gave me new drink ideas to make for them
Hey, thanks for this video. Bought a bottle for a recipe, but never really found any others that I liked. The French gimlet is great.

I feel like St. Elder is not a sweet as St. Germain if you want to try that maybe
The Sunflower has all of my favourite things, but the result is deliciously unexpected. Cheers!
In Canada we call it unfiltered apple juice. Cider can refer to either alcoholic or nonalcoholic juice and is usually filtered.
My go to cocktail is an elderflower negroni, yum!
YES! We bought one these a week ago but haven't used it yet! This perfect timing!!!
So many good drinks, so little liver. Thanks Steve for a fun weekend of mixing!
This is one of my fav videos from you
In the USA (I'm in the Boston area) unfiltered pressed apple juice we call cider....if it's fermented (has alcohol) we refer to it as "hard cider". Cheers.

Nice video and selection of cocktails using this liqueur. I have a bottle of this and I'm looking forward to trying these out.
I made French Gimlet for Xmas and everybody loved them. I can't wait to try the English Garden it seems amazing !
Wow, waiting for this for sooooo long!
Thanks for this. I've been staring at this bottle every time I go to the liquor store, knowing I'd seen it called for in a couple of recipes but couldn't recall which. Having them all here in one place is just the push I needed!
Love seeing the local Fee Brothers bitters across the world! :)
Going to need to restock my elderflower and get to making.
oooo thanks for this one!

In margaritas, I sub elderflower liqueur for half the quantity of Cointreau. A delight!
I might try all of them. I wanted to make more cocktails with this perfect timing.
Hi Steve, love your videos. I have a request for a video idea. Maybe a video of non alcoholic cocktails.
i just tried the sunflower cocktail and its really good !!! ;)
I would recommend Celine Fizz to the list, St. Germain variation of Gin Fizz and I think my favourite version of this classic. Cheers!
Never tried St Germain before, but all of those sound like excellent cocktails. Let them know their sponsorship worked. Next time I'm at the liquor store, one of those bottles will definitely be in my cart.
in the states cloudy apple juice is cider and the alcoholic stuff is hard cider
Love it again steve!
Def should try the Lumiere.
Dry Gin, St. germain, Chartreusse some fresh lime and orange bitters. I serve it with burned rosemary.
It's complex, herbal, sweet. Serve it over a tulip, nick & nora or coupe.
Keep up the good work.
cheers
Burned rosemary? You singe a fresh sprig and shake it in a tin with the other ingredients? Something else? Thanks.
That sounds amazing. Proportions??
@@theecstaticinfidelhypothes9222
40 ml Gin
30 ml St.germain
25ml Chartreusse Verte
25ml Fresh lime juice
1 dash orange bitters
Enjoy :)

Muddle a lime in shaker.
45ml vodka
30ml St. Germaine
15ml Dry Vermouth
Shake well n serve!
Finally I can really start using the bottle of St. Germaine I bought over a year ago
English garden with muddled cucumber and mint : even better. Cheers from France, Steve.
Hey Steve! I love your videos and because of you I've learned how to make my favorite drinks. You're like my bartending teacher.

I do love a st germain cocktail…. I may tinker with that Irish Maid as an après-ski cocktail.
I love the videos with many cocktails!!
Best st germain cocktail is a royal orchid IMO. St germain with gin, gold rum, lime and guava nectar. 10/10 unreal
I love saintgermain, I already saved the video! with grapefruit it also tastes great🤩👌🏼
I really enjoy St Germaine. My favorite includes vodka, St Germaine, lemon juice, muddled strawberries, simple syrup and club soda.
Love making GT variants with a ratio of 4 gin 1 st germain 1 ruby red grapefruit juice, lots of ice, a slice of grapefruit, top with either an elderflower tonic or feevertree medeterraiean tonic and top with .5 campari
I really like making an Elderflower Pisco Sour with an egg white, but I think I'll be trying the Elder Fashioned soon.
Just made the sunflower and my lord is it delicious. I used a Irish gunpowder gin tho
What a great video (well for me) my wife loves a hard St German spritz, I'm fully going to try the elder fashioned when I've finished not drinking alcohol for January, god know why I'm doing that. Cheers Steve!

That’s almost the same as the English Garden but like instead of lemon..?
@@StevetheBartender_ The difference is the cucumber that is muddled for the drink :)

Hey Steve, awesome video! Question: if I were to make the 4 spice honey syrup, what would the ratios be?
I'm no Steve, but I imagine they'd probably be equal parts, maybe some minor adjustments for the stronger of the spices. As for how much spice, that probably depends on how much of the honey syrup you plan to make.

My favourite St. Germain cocktail is one of my own creation, I call it the Golden Oriole (a Potion in the Witcher 3 game):
0.75p Gin
2.5p Mead
0.5p Elderflower Liquor
0.5p Lemon Juice (to taste depending on sweetness of mead)
Shake, serve up in a coupe glass, garnish with honey comb (if you can find it)
Im going to have to try that one. Thanks!

st germain album TOURIST is also great house music...great funk tunes. looking forward to the anzac hwy distillery ...
My 3 month dry period is officially over. I see I have some catching up to do😂😂 couldn't visit this channel as I'd have definitely been too tempted
I see you have a bottle of Italicus there. I just got one myself and would love some recipes!
One of my go-to drinks is an English Martini. I've seen different proportions, but I prefer to use the classic martini blend of 5:1.
Strip the leaves off a sprig of rosemary into a mixing glass. 2 1/2 oz. gin, .5 oz St. Germain. Muddle the rosemary. Add ice. Stir. Strain. Garnish with a fresh sprig of rosemary.
Absolutely fantastic!💕
Hi Steve looks fantastic, l shall make them all in coming weeks. Nick from York
Someone give me a bottle of that liquor 6 months ago and I didn't know how to drink it, now I know hahaha thank you!
Always considered buying this bottle for a few cocktails, but it's pretty dang expensive here in these parts (central Canada) for such a unique ingredient.
Great job Steve. :) St. Germain is a very underrated liqueur in the cocktail world.
Try 2-1.5-.5-.5(simple) on that French gimlet. Mix to alcohol ratio is a tad off I think it could taste better with a little more sugar and water
Thanks for the videos! I have been loving them. Where do you get your coupe that you pour the french gimlet in? Thank you!
Love this. I had St Germain purely for the purpose of rescuing rough champagne.
I LOVE IT! I LEARNED A LOT👍
