I recently discovered St Germain, an elderflower liqueur. I had seen it in a few obscure cocktail recipes, and picked up a bottle during my last stock-up trip at the package store. This stuff is amazing, and so far anything I have mixed it with has become 10 times better. It’s a little sweet, but not in a manufactured completely gross way. I went looking for more ways to work this into drinks, and came across a website with at least 20 different recipes. Since I love Kentucky bourbon, this drink has become my new favorite.
What you’ll need: Kentucky bourbon (Maker’s Mark or something similar - this is a new small batch bourbon called Basil Hayden’s, which is fantastic), St Germain elderflower liqueur, bitters, a maraschino cherry for garnish.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add two dashes of bitters.
Add one ounce of St Germain.
Then add two ounces of bourbon.
Place a maraschino cherry in an old-fashioned glass. Shake the cocktail and strain into the glass.
