For Your Summer Cocktails, Now That It Is Summer-like

I've been reading about an elderflower liquer in my magazines for a while now, and it's finally available in the liquor stores here! (Well, in the new wine store, at least.) I'd been subsituting the non-alcoholic IKEA elderflower concentrate ("Fladersaft") in the recipes I'd read calling for the liquer, but this


has nothing on this:

Buy it for the bottle alone, and feel like your apartment is really full of French antiques and witty people enjoying a full bar whenever you open the cupboard. The site is nice, too--the St. Germain Cocktail with sparkling wine and soda water is going to be the new fancy drink around here.

That is a gorgeous bottle... I've long wanted to have a home bar with a display of awesome bottles and glassware. Doesn't matter if I actually drink the stuff, just it looks good! ;)

How've you been? Sihce you became a busy executive, you never write, you never call...

I adore St. Germain! Yes, the bottle is gorgeous but the STORY is what gets me. Ahhhh! It's spring in a bottle. :)
