I made this drink when we had our friends Albert and Lauren over to celebrate their engagement. The classic St. Germain cocktail mixes the elderflower liqueur with champagne and club soda - we made it a little more festive by using a sparkling rose.
Ingredients: 2 ounces champagne or sparkling wine (white or rose), 2 ounces St. Germain liqueur, splash of club soda.
Fill a tall collins glass with crushed ice, then pour the champagne over top.
Pour the St. Germain in next. It is a heavier liquid than the champagne, so if you put it in on top of the champagne it will sink through and mix itself almost perfectly.
Top with a splash of club soda, and stir gently to mix.
