I’m keeping things incredibly simple today with this champagne cocktail perfect for any New Year’s Eve celebration. There’s only two ingredients: St. Germain (elderflower liqueur) and brut champagne. To make this drink, fill up a champagne flute 1/3 of the way with St. Germain, then top off with champagne. Done. Instant party.
St. Germain is one of my absolute favorite liqueurs. If you’ve never had a taste, you simply must. Right now. Make your way over to the drinking establishment closest to you, ask the bartender for a shot, and savor each sip of fragrant, flowery goodness. The sweetness of the St. Germain balances the dryness of the brut champagne, creating a well-balanced cocktail that can easily be enjoyed all night long. Continue reading for the recipe.

I love St. Germain. I just read an article about infusing it, really interesting but I wonder if it will overpower the delicate flavors. This looks perfect.
Brandon Matzek says
Ah ha! Very interesting. I would think the delicate flavors would get overpowered. I’m also not sure if I’d tinker around with a $35 bottle of liqueur! But you never know 😉

I have to get my hands on some St. Germain, never tried it, but I think it would have so many uses!
Brandon Matzek says
Yes!! You need to try it. So tasty!
kokociel says
I certainly recommend trying some, but I disagree about its versatility. I would only combine it with flavours of white wine, champagne or modifications of gin.
