St Germain Bourbon Cocktail – Due to the fact that St. Germain is truly unique, it has gained enormous popularity. The flavor has hints of citrus, pear, and passionfruit and is mild, delightfully flowery, and fragrant. Until you try it, it’s difficult to describe! It gives any beverage a distinctively smooth finish.
This recipe was originally written for Continents & Condiments by by Dante Raphael Concepcion Jr, owner and barman of a now defunct cocktail bar called the Spirit House in Montreal.
