St-Germain is a French liqueur made from elderflowers. It has a light, floral flavor with hints of sweetness and pear.

What kind of sparkling wine should I use?

A dry sparkling wine like Prosecco or Champagne works best. Avoid anything too sweet, as it will clash with the floral notes of the St. Germain.

Is soda water necessary?

Club soda adds a refreshing touch and essential fizziness. However, if you don't have it, a splash of plain seltzer water will work too.

What's the best way to garnish a St Germain Spritz?

A lemon or lime wedge is the classic garnish. For a more floral touch, add a sprig of fresh elderflower (if available) or lavender. A slice of cucumber can also be a refreshing addition.
